Do you have an air compressor and a blow gun? Try blowing some air back through the fuel line into the fuel tank. I found a big dead bumble bee in my tank once. Never leave the cap off the tank when you run out and go after a can of gas. That bumble bee must have seen the open fuel tank, flew in and died from the fumes. Every so often that dead bee would block the flow of gas out of the tank to the carb. Also take that elbow off that the fuel line attaches to on the carb. I had a dead fly make it all the way through the fuel tank and lines to the inlet side of the carb on another tractor. Same story, the fly was blocking the flow of gas from the fuel line to the float valve in the carb.

Okay here is what I found.
I took the elbow off and took a light and shined in the hole, I didn't see any screen. I didn't see any fitting on there except the 90 degree. So I put it back together. Now I started it up and it started real nice. No misses. I started out to mow. This is what I found, when I had it almost to an idle it would run fine. I would try to push it up a notch and it would spit and sputter and sometimes quit. It would start right back up though. Two cranks on the handle and it would start. That tells me it is not electrical. The next thing I'm going to do is take it back off and put in a new needle valve and get a new spring on the throttle rod. I looked on my other B and it has a spring connected from the throttle rod to the bolt in the manifold. I am going to try the "blow test" too. I think it is in the float and valve. It acts like it can't get any gas when the engine asks for more power. Rich

I'd unscrew the whole sediment bowl assembly from the tank and clean it and the tank with compressed air and carb cleaner. When you cleaned the carb did you get the air/fuel adjustments set back right?

No I didn't mess with the settings I didn't think I had to.

The adjustment screws should be removed and the screws and the openings need to be cleaned well when you clean a carb. Your problem could be adjustments but if it runs good for ten minutes and then starts to run bad probably not. Next time it starts to act up choke it a little and see if it helps. If it does it could be an adjustment. I still think you have a fuel delivery problem. HTH Thad
