This tractor never ran hot before. I'm pretty sure cw is advancing cause it raises rpms. Last night I was real tired so I didnt wright everything. I pulled the t-stat to see if it worked. It worked fine. (Im assuming you know how I tested it.) I'm not insulting your intelligence but the opposite is true. Taking out the t-stat will make the engine run cooler, well its suppose to. It just didnt in my case cause there is a problem. By not having a t-stat the water is flowing freely thru the rad constantly cooling down the h2glycol. This is if you have a properly working cooling system. Installing the stat causes the water to stop flowing enough to build back up the heat. With out a t-stat or even to cool of a t-stat can cause motor to run rich which leads to carbon fouling of the cylinder, valves and plugs. I know running your timing to retarted will or can cause the same thing and even overheat. These last 2 or 3 things may be whats wrong with mine. I'm gonna check timing and see where its at. I just got my timing lite. I'll report back. I started to post this the other day, or even a week ago, but had a family issue so I'm finally getting to it. Thanks for all your help.

On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
