About a month ago, my steady eddie 48A started running bad - sputtering, backfiring, etc. Checked the plugs and they were badly fouled.
Put new plugs in, but in a week, the problem returned. Cleaned the plugs and put them back in, minor improvement.
Started running worse & worse. James checked the spark and it was getting good spark from the magneto. James & I finally decided to have the carb rebuilt.
Sent the carb to K&K. Got it back last weekend and James put the carb back on. Not a lot of improvement.
Now the tractor will not hold rpms. - meaning it acts like you are working the throttle back and forth. It will run ok for a minute or two, then starts dropping in rpms until it nearly stalls, then it backfires once or twice, then starts running ok again for a minute or two, then the whole process repeats.
James has worked with the carb settings (load, etc) and it doesn"t seem to help. Had the magneto reworked a couple of years ago.
