I have an old tractor with an air-cooled Wis-Con engine. The Aluminum head melted and I now have a ½” valley from the piston chamber to the outside. I ordered a new head and gasket, which is on the way, but I have a question on why or how this may have happened. I do not want to melt the new head. Recently the engine has been stalling when a load is placed on it. I then have to stop what I was doing (it has a front-end loader on it and I am moving dirt) and wait for the engine to return to full throttle. The engine goes from a near stalled state and surges to running at full throttle. Could this have caused my problem? Also any ideas on how to stop the stalling when a load is placed on the engine? I have replaced several parts, readjusted the governor rod on the engine and cleaned the carburetor a bit. I was thinking that I may need to rebuild the carburetor but I would rather do this as a last resort. Thanks for any info. Don
