[Farmall] Super C Problem

[Paul Mahler]

I have seen this problem many times before when cars still had ignition
points and on lawn tractors and big tractors. If you've eliminated
everything else as it sounds you have then replace the condenser. I just
fixed a JD 318. The Onan condenser was $40.00 so I stuck one in out of an
old Chevy and it's been running great ever since, Good Luck, Paul

Just for fun, make sure that there is nothing floating around in the fuel
tank that may be covering up the outlet. By the time you shut it off and
check the fuel flow it may float away from it.

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.
