I've replaced the coil, plug wires, distributor and rotor. I put in an electronic Ingition and rebuit the carb too. if I run it for awhile and shut it off, then it won't start - even with startign fluid. After it cools down for an hour or so, it start righ up. I'm at a loss - any thought would be helpfull. Thanks [Reply]   [No Email]

I'm thinking there may be an issue with the carb. I found that if I run the tractor at all and shut it off, it won't start agian - unless it sits for awhile. Doesn't mater if it's warm or not. I saw in another posting that the carb could flood the cylinders with gas afterward it's shut off. i got the tractor running and then shut the gas off and let the tractor stop on it's own. Once it did, I turned the gas on and tried to start it - and it started right up. Any ideas on what I could have done wrong on the carb? Its a TSX-860. Thanks! [Reply]  [No Email]

I always preset the needle by setting it in the seat and then tapping on it a few times with a screwdriver handle etc. [Reply]  [No Email]

How's the rocker clearance? Have you had the tapped cover off? I'm just wondering if you've got some valves that just aren't quite closing,causing low compression and low vacuum so it isn't pulling the gas up from the carb like it should? [Reply]  [No Email]

If the valves can't close, there will be very little compression. [Reply]  [No Email]

Are the plugs solid core such as an Autolite 3116? What is static timing at cranking rpm?If more than a couple of degrees before TDC, she will kick back. Stuck advance weights or over advanced initial timing are all too common. What is coil voltage while cranking? [Reply]  [No Email]

Spark at all 4 plugs needs to be a blue/white and jump a 1/4 inch gap or more. Also when was the last time you serviced the air cleaner it maybe full of water and dirt [Reply]  [No Email]
