John...
Yes, the engine will run. I re-gapped the plugs last night and reconnected the coil. I saw spark from both plugs so I reinstalled and poured a water bottle cap full of gas down the carb and it fired right up with almost no cranking time! The engine ran for about 5 seconds but it sounded pretty good!
I had done ths before but the engine didn't fire at that time. Somehow it fires up now.
The fuel system is completly empty so I think I'd rather clean the tank and perhaps change the ful line to the filter before I add gas to the tank.
It looks like the tractor has a fuel pump, could I just re-rout the fuel line into a gas can for now? How does the pump work is it mechanical or perhaps vacuum driven?
I expect that the carb may have some issues, but the filter looks clean.
Thanks !

If this tractor quit running and has been sitting for a year or more their may be a fuel problem also. If the engine is getting fuel and the timing (point gap) is about right it will run on one cylinder (not good but it will run).
Pleas try this and let me know.
