Hey guys just recently acquired a 720 lp standard. Have been trying to get it to start I know for a fact it ran when parked, but that was over ten years ago. We have been trying to use a small bbq bottle to try and get it started but no luck so far. Its free and has compression and we took the bowl off the air cleaner because it was full of wasp nests. Replaced the points and condenser and have good spark. The bendex on the starter is wore so every time it comes up on compression the starter kicks out so we have been trying to pull start it. It doesnt even try and fire, pulled it half mile one day and nothing not even a hit.
My questions.......
1. Does the small lp bottle not have enoigh pressure? I wouldnt think this would be the case I have seen other guys do this to get by when they need to.
2. Since its been sitting for so long do I need to just break down and rebuild the converter before I try and get it running? Also maybe look at the carb? It was sitting under cover since its been parked.
3. Does taking the bowl off the air cleaner reduced the amount air the carb can pull in?
4. I dont really smell any lp comimg out of stack after trying to pull start it so that leads me back to converter rebuild I would guess? We have to lp bottle piped right to the converter bypassing the strainer because I am sure it needs cleaned out.
Any help would be helpful this being my first lp tractor. Just want to see if I can get it running to establish whatall I need to work on, you know oil leaks and gear noise and things like that. Thanks for your help.
