Used this tractor all day long with a power blower cleaning up fall leaves.
Toward the end of the day, motor started acting like it was running out of gas, then died. The fuel level was ok however.
Seems to have spark at both plugs, at first I thought one side was not sparking. Removed one coil wire from the dual wire Onan coil, added a second 12volt coil for the left cylinder. added new plugs. Both sides sparking.
When I squirt fuel directly into carb, motor will not start, but may backfire slightly while cranking.
Seems to have good compression at both cylinders.
Fuel pump appears to be working OK.
Any suggestions on what I could look for next ?
Maybe a compression test to check actual pressure
at both cylinders?
Thanks Ed in Va.
