[Farmall] Super C Problem

[E. John Puckett]

Yes they can, especially if he used a cheap one.  Most auto parts stores 
sell a cheap coil at about $20, and a good one at about $35.  Remember, 
this is what the mechanic would pay, not what he would bill you.  A 
condenser can also cause this, in addition to a plugged vent in gas cap, 
or rust getting over gas intake in tank, I think all of which have 
already been mentioned. From what you have mentioned so far I would 
suspect coil, I have had the same thing happen .
