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 - A Brief History of Tractors in Australia - by Bob Kavanagh. After Captain Cook's exploration of the east coast in 1770 the British Government decided to establish a penal colony in Australia. The first fleet arrived in 1788 and consisted mainly of convicts who were poorly equipped and new little of farming techniques. The colony remained far from self-supporting and it was not until the early 1800's that things started to improve.
