Then I was able to get it to run enough to determine what it's problem was.
Considering that you have replaced, head gaskets, ignition modules and rebuilt the carb multiple times you may want to consider looking for a replacement engine. Just my 2 cents.

Ill try that today. What am I looking for to determine a head gasket issue? This tractor has only been run maybe two hours since the head gasket replacement and everything was torqued and retorqued to spec. What would make them blow that fast?
Ill start lookin around for another engine. Id prefer to just drop a brand new one in it but my wife may flip her lid. If Im going to go that route, I might as well tear the whole thing down and sandblast and paint it.
