I've read through other postings on sputtering. Have replaced both in line fuel filters, and then checked to make sure there is good flow all the way through the second filter. Turned ignition switch on and get plenty of fuel flow right up to the engine.
Tractor runs perfectly at any RPM - sitting still. But - even the slightest tap of forward or reverse - and the sputtering begins - at any RPM. Fuel level seems to make no difference.
Removed air filter, blew it out. Same result. Removed air filter and tried running without it (just for a second or two)...it sputters with any movement.
The really odd part is that it will run fine in low going up a 30-35° incline with a full bucket of wet dirt - as long as the peddle is to the floor. Anything less - and it sputters.
And now, I am at wits end. I don't know what I am looking for - or even why.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
