Finally got the WD going like it should. It would start right up and idle fine but when given more gas or put under load it would die. I cleaned(several times) the fuel line, sediment bowl, lower carb etc. and still had the same results. I finally decided I would do one more cleaning and if that didnt work I would get the carb rebuilt. This last time I removed the float and stuck above the needle was a little peice of trash. This little bit of trash was just enough to stall it out at operating speed and to throw me off of the problem. I just couldnt figure out why a tractor that seemed to be getting enough fuel would act up like it was. While I dont claim to be mechanical this is one lesson I wont soon forget!
