Hi,
My TEA20 was running pretty good, after a mechanic and I replaced the head gasket. It was running okay after some initial issues, then it just died. I thought it was a carb issue, thoroughly cleaned it many times, no go. When I put the carb back on after cleaning it, I didn't fill it up first, figured it would fill when I turned on the gas. Also noticed that the graphite/carbon button inside the distributor cap at top was gone, must have broken off and I didn't noticed when I took the dist cap off. I have no put on a new dist cap, new wires, new coil. I did fill the carb up yesterday, put it back on, because the float was stuck. Do I always need to fill the bowl and then put the float in, then put it back on? When I did that, the plugs no longer fouled but still won't run. I did get a couple poofs of black smoke once or twice. If the tractor has been flooding for a while, can this gas wash the engine? I checked the oil and it looks good, no smell of gas.
The mechanic says the points are set, timing is set, carb screws are set, but it won't run? HELP !!!
