stalls when advancing throttle

A few weeks back I couldn't get my model 73 to start and stay running. I changed the points, condenser and coil and she started and ran great...that is, until today. My grass was pretty tall in spots (thought that shouldn't matter I wouldn't think), and as I was making a sharp turn to head back down the yard, the tractor just shut down. It starts right up no problem, but when I try to advance the throttle it will stall unless I quickly throttle it back down. Any ideas, I'm getting very frustrated and annoyed. I want to get it running well again, as snow is coming and i purchased a snowthrower to use with it this winter. :) I do have my cub and snow plow, but i really wanted to try the CC and see what it could do. Thanks for any help. Findoggy
 
Guess. Trash or water in the carburator fuel bowl or main jet. Could be a bit of trash or water in the sediment bowl and the fuel tank.

You should be able to remove the carburator fuel bowel without removing the carburator from the engine. I would remove the fuel bowl. Clean up. Reinstall the fuel bowl then shake the tractor. Remove and drain the fuel bowl again.

Also check the fuel flow through the carburator when you clean the carburator fuel bowl.
