Well I rebuilt the carb, boy was it a mess. Then today tried to start it up and it tries but only hits on one cylinder. #1 fires good but #2, 3, and 4 keep getting all sorts of junk on the plugs. Plus the float in the carb has a hole in it at the seam. I'll try to fix the float tomorrow and right now #2,3and 4 are full of oil. I hope tomorrow I can spin the engine over with the plugs out to clean all the dirt/rust out of them so the other plugs can fire. I've never had one with this type of problem but I guess theres always a first time. Any of you guys ever had one like this??
Just had to get this off my mind since its bugging me tonight. LOL

I've had similar things happen to me. What I started doing after getting one freed up and ready to try and start is put fresh oil in it,leave the spark plugs out and the throttle wide open and tow it down the road or around a field in high gear. It pretty well cleans them out plus you can get the oil pressure up and circulate it all through the engine without running it. Works for me.

Your a few days late. I have it running well now. Towing it couldn't be done because of a bad tire/rim.

Not seen anything like you describe. Have you had the valve cover off? If the drains are plugged, oil might go down worn stems but not to the extent you describe.

This D-17 is another one of them tractors that has sat who knows how long. It had a big can over the exhaust but the way it sat there bugs, dirt dobbers etc. could have got in the exhaust manifold. The plugs where so bad you could spin the engine over for say 30 seconds and the plugs would be covered with rust and other junk. I just kept tring and then pulling the plugs and cleaning them and tried again. After about 30-40 times of doing that it got to where it fired on #1 and #4, then #3 and at last #2. I figured it would smoke bad but after about 2 minutes no more smoke. So manybe this will be another one I get the fun of fixing up

I'd be carefull with that hole in the float. It caused to flood the engine on my D17 and bent something I don't remember what but it was major. I think I had to put in a new connecting rod but after the hole was fixed and the engine overhauled it purs like a kitten now. George
