2 new coils and spark is back

well after cleaning all the fins, replacing the instake gaskets and reassembling everything.
I put on a new fuel pump and got that pumping, the PO had an electric one rigged up and I didn't like the rigging.
well after all that, I got it start, it took a lot of cranking and sputtering but it finally ran.
I think it runs about 1/2 power at full throttle and if I try to throttle it down it wants to die.

but I really wanted to know if the tractor would move under it's own steam SO
I let off the brake and it wants to die instantly, so some switch somewhere is killing it.
SO I unhooked the kill wire, it fired right back up, still about 1/2 power
but it DOES move under it's own power.

I think the carb is leaking around the selenoid, looked wet back there
probobly need to clean the carb too huh.
I need to figure out what switch is wanting to kill it.
