Tractor is not running right. A couple hundred hours ago it started out stalling out when under load and has gotten progressively worse until now it stalls out just pulling itself on level ground in 2nd gear. Rebuilt carb. Installed new distributor, plugs and wires. Set timing. Hooked up a smaller auxiliary gas tank and bypassed the fuel pump. Engine had a complete overhaul about 1500 hours ago, ran good for 1300 hours, but I'm out of ideas so I did a compression check. On any other tractors that I have compression checked, when I spin the engine 5 or 6 times the compression in that cylinder reaches its maximin pressure. On the 1750, gasoline, with the choke and throttle wide open, I had to spin the engine over 15 to 18 times before the compression gage climbed to it's peak for that cylinder. All cylinders measured 145 to 180 PSI. Do you know any reason it would take 15 to 18 revolutions for the pressure to reach it's peak. Thanks in advance for reading this long-winded post.
