Re: Tractor won't start
Have you tried pulling the main jet and cleaning it out? Clean the small hole with soft copper wire and send compressed air through the jet to blow out any trash

Re: Tractor won't start
How long was the time period between you shutting off the engine and the engine's failure to start?
While you are cleaning out the carburetor's main jet, clean up the battery terminals and charge up the battery.
Check condition of the points, rotor, and distributor cap. Check ignition timing. Check the spark plugs and plug wires.

I have an excuse. CRS.

Re: Tractor won't start
Did you pull the plug on the fuel bowel on the carb to see if the gas is getting by the needle. Did you try starting fluid?
I'm technically misunderstood at times i guess its been this way my whole life so why should it change now.

Check the clutch safety switch. This happened to me last year, the actuator arm broke off. Tried to get a replacement arm and couldn't find one so I bypassed the switch.

I'd try to get it going with starting fluid, if you can get it to fire for a few seconds on ether you've got a fuel problem. If it still doesn't fire I'd take a closer looking at the ignition, you may have spark but lost the timing some how.

Re: Tractor won't start
Also, is it flooded? Have you pulled the plugs to see if their just soaked with fuel?
