carb problem

[DRD in Pa]

Early this year I bought a 841 gas tractor ,it was used all summer and fall for plowing,discing and brushogging with no problem from the carb. This fall it started to run rough and putt before it was left sit for 2-3 weeks.I pulled it out of the shed to put the chains on and it quit and would not start. I ordered a basic carb repair kit and installed it, however it is still acting the same way.I checked the points and plugs. The carb # is TSX662 Any help would be appreiated Thank You

Have you checked to see if you are getting good fuel flow?
Remove the big nut in the bottom of the float bowl and let the gas whizz out into a can.
You should get a steady stream for at least a minute. If not check your fuel filters.

Well with the lack of info it could be a lot of problems. #1 check and make sure you have a good blue/white spark that will jump a 1/4 inch gap at ALL plugs. #2 pull the drain plug from the bottom of the carb and make sure you have a good steady flow of gas for 5 minutes. Catch that gas to #1 save it and #2 make sure it is not full of water and dirt. Then post back to let us know if you have all of those things or what you do not have so we can help you help your self
