haven't been on here in a long time so I'm hoping some of you folks can still give me some advice. I have a 1650 gas that I have owned for about a year and a half. It only gets used to gather up round bales so it rarely runs for more than a hour at a time. All summer it has run well but after an hour it would quit and not restart for about 10 minutes and then would be fine for another hour. The coil would get extremely hot so I replaced it last week. It started and ran great for about 15 minutes then began to miss and run like crap. After trying a second coil and doing a general tune up it will start and run good for 2 minutes the run like crap and eventually quit. i'm pretty well confused here. I know these tractors pretty well my 1550, 550, and 2 770 gas burners all run like tops. This tractor is my only one with the holley distributor and I've been told they are junk. Is this true? Where else should I look? I was looking into an electronic ignition before but now i'm not sure if maybe I should get a Mallory distributor first. I apologize for the long post.
