Was plowing yesterday and after about an hour of it my 560 just died. Let it rest for about 5 minutes and she started back up but acted like she would die if I put any load on her at all. Got it up to the garage, checked fuel spark etc. Noticed that my 6volt resistor was extremly hot. Changed it. (tractor is converted 12v -grd) Went to use it today, started right up drove fine...1 pass with the plow and boom. Died again. Was able to start it only if I gave it full choke and it my rpm's would surge up and down.
I can't seem to pinpoint the root cause of the trouble. One day it seems electrical, the next it seems like a fuel problem. and my real worry is I have something seriously wrong with the engine.
Read previous similar troubles...changed my coil, points, plugs, wires, resistor, cap and rotor, and wiring. Verifed fuel line is unobstructed......blood pressure is going up so here I am to seek some advice. Any is appreciated!!
