I was comming back from raking, yesterday, & the tractor started to get a chug to it like a 2-cyl Deere. I was in road gear, w.o.t. & had just got back up to speed after a stop sign. It just up & started missing, first one cylinder, then two. I got in the driveway & looked over the engine. Nuthin'. Started the tractor, same deal. Pulled the plugs; 1 & 2 are clean, 3 & 4 are sooty. Gap is fine. Wires & plugs are a year or two old. Cap is clean with barely any buildup on the contacts(?). I have figured out that cyl 1 & 2 are the problem cylinders. Those two plug wires were left off by accident & the engine was started. It sounded the same when running. I put 1 & 2 back on & removed #3. No start. Then wire #4. Same deal. I have not checked the fuel system, I will be doing that when I am done here. Could I have a valve or two hanging up? I feared it might be the head gasket, but the exhaust is clean. Any ideas?

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
