After sitting out to the farm all winter and knowing it had a bad starter I replaced with a new one. Also installed new rotor and points, and fixed the exhaust leak by #4 cylinder with high temp epoxy and new gaskets. Have good blue spark on all 4 plugs, check compression - good on all 4 cylinders. Was able to get it running by pulling the tractor but cannot get it going by using the starter. New starter seems to spin the engine over a lot faster than the old starter. Any ideas as to my next steps. Tractor is out to the farm about 3.5 hrs drive so it'll be another week before I get out there. Any help would be appreciated and sorry for the long dissertation.
