I've been haying like crazy the past few days and haven't had a chance to really get into the nuts and bolts of this old thing yet.

However, It has a nice, kick-azz, blue spark on the secondary side of the ignition, so it's either a fuel problem 'er she's jumped time.

Drained a gallon and a half of "extra" oil out of the engine. 'Spose it's "flooded"? :>)

Remove the spark plugs and see if they are wet.If that extra oil you drained out smells like gas then the needle and seat in the carburetor are probably leaking. If the air cleaner hose and tube are installed disconnect it from the carburetor and see if gas runs out of the carburetor.If it does shut off the fuel supply and crank the engine over with the spark plugs removed to blow all the gas out of the engine. Next put a couple of squirts of oil in each cylinder to lubricate the cylinder walls and rings and raise the compression.With the spark plugs dry and the fuel supply shut off there will be enough gas in the carburetor fuel bowl to start it. If it will not start then check the ignition timming.

Yep,

Soon as I get a minute, I'm gonna yank the plugs and see what's going on in there.

No, didn't drain any gas; it was all oil.

We had a 350U that broke a cam in half. Dad Idled up to the gate and jumped off to open the gate. The tractor was just idling and it died. I cant remember what it sounded like when you cranked it over. On a car, when it breaks a timing belt you can hear it right away when you crank it.
 
Hey Allan - where can I get one of those "oil producing" engines??? I would probably change the oil after the repair, especially in hot weather - most likely dilluted with gas.
