My John deere b wont start replaced plugs and magneto parts including the cap what should be my next steps?

Check for spark at plugs
Check to see if plugs are wet with gas.

If no to either post back

Is the gas good? If it's old it may not start.

As with any gas engine trouble shoot then parts NEVER the other way around you your likely to add problems not fix them

#1 make sure you have a good blue/white spark at both plug wires that will jump a 1/4 inch gap or more. And on a mag make sure the impulse is working
#2 pull the carb drain plug and make sure you have a good steady flow of gas that will fill a pint jar in under 3 minutes and yes catch it to look for dirt/rust/water.
#3 when was the last time you serviced the air cleaner it could be full of mud and water that will keep it from starting

Roate 67 >>> Like I said . There ain't no such thing as a JD B that won't start.

What was it's condition before you started working on it? What's the back story? How long has it sat, or did it run and only stopped when you started working on it?
