I've been having carb and ignition problems with my tractor going on 2 years. It is a positive ground system.
Last time I had the enging runing I checked the manifold for leaks but couldnt find anything. I have a fuel filter installed in the fuel line. and added dry gas to the fuel tank in case there was a moisture problem.
Last winter I replaced the spark plugs and coil breaker points etc. It ran trouble free until colder weather set in. Then it would start but only after a long period of cranking.
Now it won't start at all. The starter turns the engine and it seems its on the verge of starting but just won't fire. I tried spraying starter fluid in the carb but it still wouldn't fire.
I just had the carb rebuilt and installed and it didnt make a difference. I checked to see if there was spark at each of the plugs. Although there was spark it seemed weak.
Could a weak coil be causing the problem?
I am completely puzzled.
Any suggestions that will help me get this machine back in working order will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Jim McKinney
