This sounds more like a fuel problem than an electrical one. From the sound of it, something is in the tank blocking the outlet fitting inside the tank. Like something as simple as an old piece of paper floating in the tank. As long as the engine is running, it would be drawn to the outlet. As soon as it stalls, the blockage could float away a bit. Then when you restart it, the fuel bowl on the carburetor is not filled up, so it runs a bit lean causing the rough running. Just a guess on my part, but something I would look into. Generally, electrical problems are of a more "sudden" nature. They usually also take some time to "reset" to allow restarting. Fuel, on the other hand, tends to be more gradual. Also, a partial blockage will fill the carb, and after running for a bit will start to starve the engine for fuel. Then, while the engine is stopped and you are going to restart it, it "catches up," fills the carb again, and you repeat the cycle. You may also have a restriction somewhere else in the fuel circuit. Possibly built up deposits from years of fuel passing through.

Today's Featured Article - Upgrading an Oliver Super 55 Electrical System - by Dennis Hawkins. My old Oliver Super 55 has been just sitting and rusting for several years now. I really hate to see a good tractor being treated that way, but not being able to start it without a 30 minute point filing ritual every time contributed to its demise. If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
