couple other thoughts, check for a good blue spark at the plugs, if you have a spare spark plug, just hook it to one of the plug wires and lay it on the engine, start tractor and observe spark. next, pull the distributor cap and wiggle the rotor side to side to check the bearings for excessive wear. if all that checks out, i'd look at the fuel delivery to eliminate that. on the bottom of the fuel bowl is a drain plug for the carb. pull that out, go to the hardware store and get a brass barb fitting that you can screw in to the carb bowl and connect some clear fuel line to. about a foot of fuel line will be good. put the fitting in the bowl, hook up the clear fuel line and route the other end vertically above the carb. it will act as a "sight glass" to show you the fuel level in the bowl. turn the fuel on and see where the level goes along the body of the carb. make a note of it. next, start the tractor and let it run, watch the level and see if it drops. throttle the tractor up and down and see what happens. the level should stay pretty much the same. if it drops, you know you have a problem between the needle and seat in the carb and the fuel tank. if it holds the correct level, the problem is between the fuel bowl and combustion chamber.
