[Farmall] Super C Problem

[Jeff & Ginny Pomije]

The ignition coil was replaced last year when I had a tractor mechanic 
trying to figure out the problem.  Could a new one go bad in a year?  
The carburetor is only a couple years old, so it should not have been 
real dirty.  I know the mechanic took the carburetor apart and went 
through it looking for any blockage.  He said a part was not seated 
correctly, I think it was the jets.

One other thing, it appears to happen most often when the tractor is hot.
