Kendell Ide (Kide) the gas. as a kid in the 70's i used to only run an engine out of gas at the end of a season. a few years ago i had a weed wacker on wheels with a 12 H that would need a carb cleaning every month . then my leaf vacuum stopped working. after draining and cleaning gas...- fsnerd

"Frank: If it was a bad ignition switch, it'd drop out totally during cranking - as a matter of fact, get a 12 volt test light and make sure that it isn't dropping out while cranking - a test light is easier to detect that with than a meter. Put the probe on the + terminal of the coil. You may...- fsnerd

"Frank...Is the fuel filter for a gravity feed system ? " yes. this was mentioned before. it is an automotive, fuel pump type filter. but. i had the stalling problems before i added the filter. so, i doubt that is the problem. "is it losing spark for sure when it quits ? " I do not know...- fsnerd

Richard Palmer (Rpalmer) I do not think you are giving me a hard time. the problem is, i have been chasing this problem for months, and replacing things that were not related to the stalling problem as i found them broken. for me to go back to the beginning and list everything, would be way...- fsnerd

my 128 with the stalling problem. for those of you i confused, i tried to condense the previous problems, that i believe were eliminated, and only mention the current problem of only starting on carb cleaner. the order of parts replacing was,and this is the short , condensed list, stalls...- fsnerd

Richard Palmer the carb that is on it now is new. it did not change engines. "this carb has less then 8 hours on it" means it ran for about 8 hours on this engine since it was installed new, not that i got a used carb with only 8 hours on it. in case that is what confused you. when first...- fsnerd

Wayne Shytle - i do not have another, working carb. i have the original, which leaked a lot of gas. stuck floats, i assume. it appeared to be the original carb, so i did not play with it, just replaced it. this carb has less then 8 hours on it, but i suppose something could have gummed it...- fsnerd

thanks everyone for giving me some hope that a converter terminal exists. i will go looking for one. that would be the easiest route.

i thought about cutting the terminals off the wiring harness, but it is new. I hate to do that. especially if i ever replace the regulator and it has the spade type terminals. everything on this tractor is old, and something has been causing it to stall, so I have already replaced half the...- fsnerd
