A fellow I know bought an old backhoe that didn"t run. Another guy who is tractor savvy went through the carb but it didn"t run any better. They then took it to a reputable dealer who did the tank thing and rebuilt it and it still runs crappy as before so that"s out. Compression is good. The distributor got checked and is a bit loose but the wrench said that amount of looseness is normal / acceptable and wouldn"t cause such poor running. The usual others were done like points, plugs cap ect. My buddy the savvy old tractor guy is leaning towards valves about this time. I was wondering what else should be looked into as I understand this has no timing chain and the key is definitely not spun?
Symptoms, starts hard idles like crap stalls out when any attempt to move it or rev it at all.
Any likely ideas would be most appreciated.
