I spent the day checking everything over and still cannot get it it pop once. I pulled all 4 plugs and grounded them to the frame, shut the shop lights off and cranked the engine and I had 4 good blue sparks. The magneto impulse clicks too.
I have tried squirting fresh gas in the spark plug holes, then installing the plugs. No difference really.
I must be getting a fuel from the carb because: the butterfly valve in the intake manifold is closed, the plugs I pull after trying to start it are somewhat wet with fuel, and it looks wet when I look through the spark plug hole. I am using AV Gas from the airport.
The valve lash has been set and checked multiple times. The firing order is 1-3-4-2 CCW looking from the seat. #1 cylinder fires at timing mark "M" on the crankshaft pulley when the piston is at the top of its compression stroke. Verified this by watching the valves. The valve cover is off while I've been doing all this. Could the spark plugs be grounding out while in the head???
The injector lines are unhooked from the injectors.
The decompression valves are about as far open as they can get it seems.
I notice that gas seeps from the bottom of the intake manifold gasket after I crank it for a while. I have tried using a combination of choking styles.
Tractor is sitting with the spark plugs out and decompression valves open tonight to let any gas evaporate that is in the cylinders. Maybe it was flooded?
Any help is appreciated! Thank you
