Problem is gas problems act like electric problems cause it dies so quick like someone turned a switch. These tractors are gravity feed and don't have a fuel pump like a car that lets it sputter along for a while.
I think those resistors may get hot but it sure doesn't hurt to get the 12v correct coil from NAPA that states on it that it has internal resistance. According the the expertts here and in the archives, the winding inside does the resistance or something like that. Coils are just under $20.
When it dies immediately check for spark. Then you know if it is the coil or something electrical. Coils when they go bad will get hot they say. Mine never did but I replaced it anyway. It was a new to me tractor and I had no idea how old anything was except by the paint and rust on everything. It had a lot of farmer rigging done to it for sure. Coils, points, condensers, and batteries are cheap compared to all the frustration for being shut down.
I figured out they had rust problems before as they had ditched the sediment bowl and put one of those inline filters in. It did and they eventually do fill up with rust. And they won't handle flow at a peak time. No way you can have an inline filter in their and run it hard. I said idling earlier but they will run fast for a while till the rust particles begin plugging it up and restricts the flow till the carb runs dry and it quits. Then it sits for a time while you are wondering what is happening and during this while enough gas trickles into the carb so it starts and runs for a while. Kind of a viscious cycle. They you have to pick a way to fix it. Seems like I acidize the tank and soak the carb in Berrymans and blow out the passages at the beginning of each summer. Had some screen stuck up the tank intake a couple inches and it plugged off. This summer I did as Allen said and used a piece of rubber hose stuck up an inch and a half to stop rust particles.

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
