Hello all,
Here's the story , I bought an old 74 international skid loader 3200 B it has a Wisconsin VH4D gas engine with magneto type ignition. The machine belonged to a good friend that passed away and the during his sickness the tractor sat uncovered for 9 years. It was given to me and as a tribute to my old buddy I decided to restore it, at this point I pulled the engine and sent it off to a machine shop to break her down and put her back together which they did. It is basically a new engine 3000.00 for the rebuild, I have it ready for a test start which the shop didn't offer as part of there deal. I have gas going to the fuel pump, spark from all 4 plugs, compression from all 4 , it turns over but just doesn't sound like its even trying to start, the shop said there pretty sure the timing is correct but wouldn't it start if the timing was off or at least try to start? I keep trying different things, thanks to bob on here I now know a negative wire comes off the mag to serve as a kill switch but other then that I have a battery jumper hooked up positive going to starter and negative going to on of the tin covers. Like I said it turns over but that's it, it must be something I don't see any help with this would be greatly appreciated I thought about taking it somewhere but it's tough to find someone to pick up where the shop left off, thanks again for any help.
