I was out plowing snow with my Super C this afternoon. I stopped the tractor, left it running, and moved a vehicle in the driveway. Climbed back on the Super C and as I started to push more snow it started losing power and finally quit. I checked fuel -cleaned the sediment bowl(was clean), have good flow to the carb, I pulled the drain to the float bowl and drained it, also seemed clean with no sign of water. Sprayed some carb cleaner in the needle valve opening. I also put a new 12volt battery in the tractor as the old one all of a sudden decided to not turn over the tractor -dead. The tractor will start and run for a very short time and never get up to normal running rpms before it dies. I haven't pulled the sparkplugs yet but I was wondering what happens if the a spring or something lets go in the governor? If I try choking the engine when starting it, the engine wouldn't even fire but push in the choke and it would start and run very weak. No sign of black smoke (flooding)when it starts. Right now it will fire and only continue to fire about a half dozen times then quit. This is normally a very strong running tractor. Any ideas? Thanks Loren

This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit
