Hi guys! For several years I've been looking for a Super A like the one I learned on in my youth. (That tractor was sold-w/o my knowledge-, along with attachments, including a Sears post hole digger, while I was away from home for a few years.) The other day I finally found one in decent condition for a decent price, and a belly mower to go with it, and I found that after 30 years the Super A seat still fits cozily! (Ahhhhhhh!) The problem is, when it's under load of cutting taller grass and the governer kicks in, it begins to stutter and dies if not clutched immediately. I remember these little tractors having better load-handling ability (I snaked logs w/our old one), so I'm thinking something is "amiss". The load doesn't have to be much for this to happen, just enough to even begin to strain. The previous owner said it could use an engine overhaul but could probably get by a while w/o one, but the only time I see any smoke is when it does this and then right afterwards black smoke blows for just a second, until it "catches up" (while clutched) and runs normally. I'm thinking carb' or perhaps restricted airflow or even timing/ignition, but I just bought it and haven't gone over it and I don't have any maunuals or spec info yet, so I'm tossing it to you more experienced fellows in hope of a quick and easy fix before I go tearing into stuff. (I'm hoping to get by cutting grass w/it this summer and possibly overhaul the engine this winter, if it really needs it.) Any ideas or similar experiences, folks?
