Hi i used my tractor yesterday started no problem. Today i go to start it and it wont go it turns over but wont fire its getting gas flooded it trying to start. I thought maybe the condenser was bad so i put brand new points and condenser on it and it does spark but seems weak. does anyone know the correct gap to set for the point i set it an 0.02" not 100% sure if thats correct. the distributor looks good new plugs and rotor... Anyone have any ideas THANKS....

A quick check ,, is check to see if 12 V at the coil. than check to see if the point are working take dist. cap off and take an screwdriver and break the points manaully,, there should be spark there . another is to see what color of spark at the end of spark plug wire red mean poor condenser , should be a blue spark about 3/4 inch long. check to see if you have compression low compression will not fire either. good luck John

hi when i crank the engine over and hold a sparkplug near some metal on the tractor it sparks but seems erattic and a very small spark but blue. Is there any way i could have screwed the timing up In my repair manual it says you have to turn the engine over till the brush bar think thats what its called is on a high part of the distributar shaft and then set the gap from there which is what i did. I havent had a chance to check for compression yet. But it seems like its getting no spark in the plug or Badly timed but all i did is turn the engine by hand a little im kinda stuck if you guys have anymore ideas thanks...Ps it always does flood if you dont start it right or if it doesnt start on about the 3rd crank....

SOUNDS LIKE THE CARBORATOR FLOAT IS STUCK.
CHECK THAT BREATHER IS OPEN.

hi i have the point gap set at .020 and made sure i set it on the high side of the lobe on the distributor shaft so that part should be good i hardly fires and floods very fast gas even leaks out the air intake manifold. Do you think i blew a headgasget or something guess i should check compression. Thanks
