* Have you ever seen this engine run? Yes. It was the lady that lives next-door to my Dad. He would use it to mow her yard. He said it ran until he put it in her barn. Then nexttime it would turn over just not start. I can't get it to turnover.
* If the previous owner was pull starting it. No, He said if he couln't get it to start he would pull start it.
* The lady had a mechanic come out that changed 3 spark plugs? He didn't change the 4th, said was afraid he'd break it off. I haven't tried, but soaked it w/PB. He told her it was electrical and not worth the repairs but couldn't get it to start. He ended up selling her a Kabota lawn tractor? ( I know !!).
I wonder if the engine is stuck. Have you tried engaging the starter with the clutch pedal down? Same one kick and stop. He did say he had the engine turning over.
*If the engine isn't stuck, is the transmission stuck in 2 gears? It seems that the clutch really doesn't do anything. I had to jam it in gear when trying to pull start it. Will it start in neutral with no clutch in? I tried the clutch. far left? and nothing really, no turnover again.
* Can you push the tractor by hand when it isn't in gear? YES.
* or just try pulling it in gear? It would pull no problem. When I put it in gear one tire (left) would turn and the right tire would turn oposite direction spitting up dirt..
* I'll forget the back 3 wires.
* Does the ammeter move when you turn the ignition switch on? No, It is at 1/2 right from center, and no change when pull the ingn pull switch.
If so which way? If it moves to the right, reverse the battery connections.
* Look on the coil. The positve (black) is connected to the distributor.
* If you switch the battery around, make sure the coil wires are as I stated and you will at least have one thing straightened out. Meaning? If it is negative ground this is wrong? Maybe someone pulled the battery and installed it back wrong. The negative is a smaller end connection, so it seems like it has been that way awhile.
