Thanks for all the replys...they've been helpful. can't say that I did...I have had raditor problems last summer with this tractor (thus the new guage to keep an eye on the heat level). Tractor sat all winter all drained. It had some timing problems last season which were fixed to the point it no longer belched fire..but it ran withouth much power (couldn't drag a culitivator) that's as far as it got prior to this spring. It sat outside for two months this spring waiting for tires (Took time to sand blast wheels) It was uncovered but exhaust had a rain plate on it. My neighbor had said that maybe it had a hung valve due to some of the heating problems.. I expected to find really bad compression however I guess it was good (Don't know what it should be..however the starter works hard to turn it over so...) Will a cracked head show up in a compression test if I run it again? When she lost power I could put the throttle all the way down without any change in RPM..I assume this was due to my collection of "Oil Moose" in the governor. I had it started one other time after the new tires were on (it ran with no power..barely making it up a slight incline)...I sandblasted the plugs (carb is running rich) and checked the points. The only thing new I did was replace the wire from the kill switch to the Magneto...It ran fine afer that (albeit rich) until the water problem. I can deal with a head..not looking forward to tearing down block especially if compression is good. How do I clean out all the oil? I just assumed the whole thing would have to be torn apart to get that stuff out...its like pudding? Do I have to run a solvent or something through it? Any suggestion would help...Thanks alot
