I'd try adjusting the governor back to where it was before, and see if that helps. The pouring gas before could have been a stuck float or something.

On this tractor there is no fule filter I thought about putting one in line only thing it had is a sediment bowl

I read your posts again, one time I did fry a coil. It took a long time to figure it out, but was a easy fix.

When I first got it going agin I had not yet
Adjusted the governor and it was still pulsing then I adjusted it and it ran good for about an hour then it started agin when under load I was thinking maybe the governor spring could be weak I'm sure it has never been replaced .

It's been 4 or 5 years since that coil went....I recall it idled ok but couldn't be revd up normal. Another tractor I have had problems mowing. It would bog down and slowly recover. I ended up moving the governer spring to another hole (if you have several) So that the spring tension was increased. That solved it, but Im not sure if that's your problem, especially if your governer worked before the carb rebuild.

I has always pulsed under load but it was not that bad before now it is so bad I have
To push the clutch it and sit there until it recovers I have not looked at the governor
Spring yet but when I was adjusting the lever it did not seem like it had much tension to it

It's worth a shot. While your hands are greasy, might as well install a inline filter. TSC sells a nice one for $7. They have springs as well.

I just got it all cleaned up and took the govenor out there are two holes to chose from to put the big spring in and there is also a small spring at the bottom it looks to be intacked I was wondering if it matters if I just move the big spring to the other hole
To creat more tension or just replace it it looks good no rust or damage. Just can't tell if it is weak I have nothing to go by to figure that out

Also to add to my last post what is that little spring at the bottom for I think it is a stop to keep the rpms from going to high
But I don't know for sure it looks like there is a adjustment for it on the in the governor housing.

When I adjusted mine, I left the little spring alone and only moved the big spring. I know the upper rpm limit did not change, as I used a handheld tach to verify.
