No worries, I understand your frustration, I have tinkered plenty, though not quitting my day job, the information/wisdom from youll is much appreciated.
-Over a year ago, it was running, started sputtering, then died. Plugs were fouled, put in new plugs, to get it to the barn. Wasnt running good, but made. Shut it off, and tried to start the next day, nothing. Took it to a guy to work on, kept saying he would get to it, never did so I brought it back home recently
-Installed new points, condenser, cap, wires. I now have good spark.
-upon trying to start it, again, nothing. Took the carb off to make sure it was clean, discovered the bowl cracked, purchased a new carb.
-now to where I am at now, in video posted, it would fire, but not start. Sometimes a flame/backfire outside the muffler.
-someone posted about checking for stuck valves, so yesterday, removed the valve cover and saw that I had a stuck valve, was able to free that easily.
-I have never removed the magneto, as far as timing, I was referring to turning the flywheel, and listening to the click, and it clicked right on the mark on the flywheel, and the frame of the tractor.
-I have switched the wires around, and it does nothing different.
-I was reading about the the float adjustment, so that was why I was messing with that, so it was perfect, however thats not my main issue here. It is now not shutting off the fuel when the bowl is full (float is good), so there needs to be an adjustment so the needle is closing correctly, doing that tomorrow. -I will do compression test tomorrow, and report back!

Today's Featured Article - Box Plow Blues - by Tom Schwarz. One of the first implements most tractor owners obtain is the box plow. For very little money, this piece of equipment promises to plow and flatten any hill or vale on your ranch road or farm. At least that's what I thought! As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
