She does not like to start in the cold. I have a block heater. When I try to start, I pull the choke out & open the throttle almost full. I get a 3 or 4 seconds of run, then stalls out and appears to flood. When I try to restart she wont fire unless I pull a couple of plugs a brush them off. I replace the points, plugs, cap, rotor etc this past summer. Any advise would be wonderful. Thanks [Reply]   [No Email]

Most tractors, you give the throttle about 3-4 'notches'- never anywhere near full throttle. Summer, usually don't need choke, cold weather you do. [Reply]  [No Email]

It will be 16 tomorrow morning I'll give your suggestion a try. Thanks :) [Reply]  [No Email]

So I left the block heater on for 4 hrs or so. And tried again. 2 notches of throttle. No choke at first then 1/2 choke fired up. So I need better engine heater or add another one. I will be ordering a new coil too that"s the only thing I didn"t replace when she was tuned up last summer. Thanks again fellas for all the help with "Allis" [Reply]  [No Email]
