Ok so go to try to start my Ford 841 and it would try to hit once in a while. Drained the carb and with out turning the gas on tried to start it and guess what it started but of course ran a moment or two and died. Turn on the gas to fill carb and it would hit once in a while but not run. I have smoke coming out of the exhaust but no start. Good blue white 1/4 inch plus spark from the coil wire. But could not test the spark at the plug wires. Hard to trouble shoot by your self at times. But it has been parked in the rain and had 2.25 inches in the last 24-48 hours and been forever and a day since it has had new plug or cap or rotor so may have to change them. Put a tarp over it and said to heck with it till tomorrow
