My gas-powered 4020 powershift, Ingrid, does pretty darned well.
She had sat for a LONG tome with bad gas before I bought her.
The tank is NASTY and I haven't got around to taking it off and cleaning and coating it, so I have an auxiliary tank mounted on the back for now, along with an electric fuel pump.
The carb was unbelievably NASTY. I cleaned it up, bead blasted it, then dipped in it phosphoric acid to stop rust, and installed a new float, inlet needle valve, and accelerator pump from Roberts Carb.
I have never charged the points or plugs in the 5 or so years I've had it, the sparkplugs are not even a matched set, yet the darned thing runs and starts as good as any gas-powered tractor I have ever seen. Surprisingly, the ignition system has never gotten "wet" despite having a front-mounted snowblower. I have a new set of NGK plugs and Blue Steak points for when trouble does happen.
Last Dec, though, the float cracked and I had to solder it. I've got a new one on hand but there's no hurry to change it, right? (LOL!)
