Now to drain the gas check for stuff in it and water and redo the full fuel system to see if we can get it running right again. 

 

Question  A#1. Are you using ethanol gas?

 

How much of the fuel system has been replaced? 

Has the carb been cleaned and rebuilt?

Fresh ethanol gas from the pump that morning. Our only option here in Mass. we will be running non ethanol in it from this point forward. We run av gas in all our small engines for the fire department and I can purchase that when we fill

cans for the department also if I want to. Fuel system was on the list to replace anyway. Did not get to do it yet besides the tank was flushed. From the tank we are going to do a new grommet and petcock, fuel lines and filter clean the pump out and replace if needed and diagnose what is up with the carburetor.

Not to be a downer but is that all that's hooked to the sled a Clevis? No safety's? If that let's loose the driver is going to get hurt!

Good call. I will point that out on on the ones who run the pulls.

I agree with @squonk

That's a very weak connection between a 1000+ lb tractor and twice that in dragged weight. 

 

If the officials try to say the chain is super heavy duty or whatever remind them that there's a HUGE difference between STATIC weight DYNAMIC weight.

Of course one could go to E85 (85% ethanol) then go considerably richer on the fuel mixture to gain horsepower.  I have an unused fuel test kit like we used at our snowmobile drag races to see if anyone was cheating.

Just don't mention that the wheelie bars can lift some skid weight while transferring it to the tractor tires.  :roll:
