I removed the gas tank & found that the Gas Tank Shut-off valve, was not working correctly. It didn't turn off the fuel as well as restricting the flow. The tank was pretty dirty inside, I took a shop rag cleaned the inside & removed the valve. There were so many sediments on the filter where only the very top of the screen let fuel flow. I also changed the points & condenser. I think the condenser is original one that came on the tractor because the black paint from the engine & on the clip was never separated and it is very corroded. I also cleaned the Vacuum Filter which was not restricting air flow, since I was on a roll I kept going.
I have a new fuel valve and filter on order when they are installed I'll see how it runs. These are all issues that needed to be addressed and I should have done so before, but the tractor was running Good & I'm of the mind set... "If it ain't broke" ....
Again all your replies have helped.
