Old JD 420 crawler...

Hi - had enough trouble getting my neighbor's crawler started that I decided I might consult the internet.

replaced the ignition coil, rotor, points, condenser - have consistent spark

cleaned out the carb, rebuild kit is on its way in the mail.

can sometimes get it to pop with ether (spraying tons directly into the cylinder or continuously spraying it into the intake)

it seems that it's having a hard time getting fuel/expels before combustion.

Timing should be alright - have a JD M for reference. points are gapped to .020.

what do you guys think?
 

compression was fine, got it running. ended up being a clogged jet.

only thing is i blew a line as soon as i touched the lever. :cry:
 
Don't see how you could use that much ether and not blow the tops off the pistons. You should have bought a lottery ticket having such a lucky day. lol
