Hello everyone.. I recently acquired 1977 International Harvester cub cadet 1650 from a close friend.. The machine looks great! However after getting it home and using it for approximately 10-20 minutes, the engine began bogging down. ...the spark plug looked worn so i replaced it but still no changes.

Thee gone turns over each time but the engine will immediately begin bogging down after the i itial bogging down which occurs after running the machine for typically around 15-20 minutes... I have to wait a considerable amount of time for it to "cool down" before using it to where I can move it.

I ordered new points and condenser. I replaced the condenser which seem to improve the run time to maybe around 30 minutes before it began with the
same issue (engine bogging down while moving forward).

I then noticed the return clutch/brake spring snapped off so I replaced that. Still no changes.



I have no experience with points and have heard it's not easy to install. I don't want to attempt this yet as I do not know if this is the issue. Doess anybody have any other recommendations or any other areas to tes that? any help would be much appreciated as this tractor is new to me
