Learning as we go and seeking some foresight, our B/S 23D did not have a spark. Took a look at the points, looked fairly good, cleaned them, and still no spark.
Turning the front PTO and hearing the cylinder move, the plunger does not move. Can pull the plunger out freely until it stops and turns freely.
Based on the board's experience, what is the best route from here? Is replacing the plunger a logical next step? We can not discern what type of plunger it is, a style I or II? Looks like style I. Do we break this off and remove remaining plunger and bushing with washer/threaded nuts?
Is it as likely that the plunger flat or keyway on the crankshaft is worn/damaged?
Is there something else we should look into before headed off in this direction?
Thanks in advance.
