[Farmall] Farmall Digest, Vol 119, Issue 2

[Rupert]

Carl,
	I don't have experience with an H but a fuel restriction at the tank 
outlet or in the line or a restricted vent cap can cause an engine to 
act like that. I would check for good fuel flow before I tore into the 
governor. I think the idle adjustment is on the carb so at best a 
governor problem shouldn't cause the engine to quit.
	Also, if the H has battery ignition, check very carefully for a broken 
wire inside the distributor between the points and the side terminal.
