Gentlemen, Two weeks ago I drove my '42 H out of my barn (after storing it for 4 months)for some bush hogging work. I filled it with fresh gas and a hot battery, and it started almost promptly. It made three good passes around the pasture and on the fourth, it started to run extremely rough. It almost ran like one of those green two cylinder things and lurch, then it finally quit completely. I tried to restart but it would only spit, sputter and slobber gas out the bottom of the carburetor. This happened one time before about 3 years ago, and it was due to a sticking needle which I replaced, and had no more problem(s). One other time it quit due to rust plugging the sediment bowl inlet. The carburetor was last rebuilt in 1995. This time I checked the float and the governor, all okay. I went ahead and cleaned and rebuilt the complete carburetor, it is really straight forward simple. It has the IHC D10 unit. The ignition is completely new and I get great spark at the plugs. I just don't understand what is going on and am at wit's end right now. It would seem to me to be an easy fix. My pasture is growing tall and I need my old workhorse. Sorry for such a long diatribe. Any ideas? I greatly appreciate the knowledge base on this forum and how you gentlemen rally around those of us in times of need. Thanks again.....Sapper
