1974 Speedex

New carb., runs normal for 15 min. Then stops, got gas got spark, but won't start. Come back in 10 minutes and it fires right up and runs for another 15 to 20 minutes and stops. Any ideas??

Ok so which of the probably 3000 engines they built would that be. Really need the model number not the name.

Thanks, butI don't know what other info. I can give you. It's the original engine as I bought this tractor in 1974 and use it all summer for my rough mowing. Did valve job and new head gasket 5 years ago. Carb. Was acting up this summer and was going to rebuild but found new carb. On EBay for $34 so bought it. Installed and started right up. It was leaking through weep hole so tighten up high speed seat and stopped that but the running for 20 min. and stopping continued. As sound as it stops, check spark and was good. Leave it set for 10 min. And it's good for another short mow!!!!!
