Would it have anything to do with the governor?

Great input guys, its appreciated. Although the engine does not surge at all. Runs and idles normal until i hit some snow, then it immediatley bogs down and dies. 2 pulls and fires back up and runs great again. I used a paper clip to clean all the orifices in the carb. And installed the complete rebuild including jets and seats, needle and seat.

I just took the carb apart and rebuilt it. It could be a semi plugged filter in the tank i suppose, because i changed out the fuel lines and everything so that could be it for sure. I'll see what i can find.

Ive been tinkering on a old JD and im having problems with the governer i think. Everything runs and turns good until i hit some snow and it just bogs down and dies. Where is a good start for the adjustment on this thing? Or any other suggestions would be great. Thanks.
