[Farmall] Super C Problem

[Mike Sloane]

There are a lot of things that could go wrong and result in that kind of 
problem. One of them is a failing ignition coil. I am sure others will 
come up with more ideas.

When you say the carburetor has been "gone over", does that mean a 
complete disassembly, soaked in a tank of carburetor cleaner, all 
passages reamed, and re-assembled with new parts? It seems that, unless 
you do that these days, the stuff they are selling for gasoline will 
cause all kinds of crud to form in the small passages/jets. (been there, 
done that)
