Im working through one small maintenance and
repair after another in this 1959 871.
Tractor starts. Ensured good fuel flow. Have not
cleaned carb but opened drain plugs an ms carb.
Spark Plugs are about 13 years old.
While working on the FEL when lifting forks with no
weight the motor lugs and knocks and almost shuts
down.
It was doing this in shifting gears too. Its an SOS.
Advice? Is it timing? Or should i pull spark plugs
and put new ones in? Pertronix on it too.
