I agree with Jerry.
If you got spark, thats a big plus.
Along with other fuel supply inputs: Make sure you have a couple of gallons of gas in tank. also, if you have an original fuel shut off--make sure that it is opened ALL the way. These actually have 2 tubes that allow gas into fuel line-one taller than other--the taller one is used while plenty of gas is in tank. The other is a neat feature. When gas is lower than tall tube, tractor dies from "out of gas". However, by opening the know the whole way out, this allow lower tube to open and use remaining gas to run tractor and get your butt home. Now, that said. these tubes get full of CRAP>
Get a large fullen and 1 or 2 5 gallon buckets (depending on how much gas is in tank) and place funnel under fuel shut off. carefully unscrew shutoff out of bottom of tank.....gas will rush out like crazy, use funnel to divert into buckets--have second bucket right there as you will be surprised how much, and how quickly the gas comes out.
I take a small drill bit and BY HAND twist into both tubes and pull out..you could very easily have a bunch of crap in flutes of bit. I usually take very very low compressed air and shoot into tubes from bottom side.
Even on my best fergies, I have this issure once per year.
Dont forget the "secre screen" Jerry mentioned. It is actully part of the 90 degree elbow that takes fuel line into carb. Carefully disconnect fuel line and back out elbow. Again, very slight compressed air from the outside will shoot crap out of screen.
All the above is kind of a pain to do, so perform the "peeing rock" test first to see if you fuel runs out bottom of carb strongly and for as long as you leave shut off open. One last thought, (and this shouldnt affect start up, but would effect long term running) make sure you have a vented gas cap....air must enter tank as fuel is removed.
lack of air can stop fuel flow.
Make sure that when you are on your 6 degree mark that the piston is near the top of cylinder...this can be done by removing spark plug (#1) and looking inside with flashlight, OR placing small bent wire. Should feel or see piston fairly close to hole. If not, you may be 180 degree off. If you are getting a strong spark at plugs, the ground is fine for now. As stated, turn both large and small screws on carb all the way IN> then back the large on out 1 and 1/8 turn out.--back the small one out 3/4 of a turn. This should be close enough to start and run.
If this doesn't work, it could be an issue with timing chain. Hope not.
Keep us informed, we'll get her.
P.S. Before you flip your lid----- -try to think of all the fun you'll have taking her for a ride all by yourself..
We already know this feeling,,,,thats why we are here. mark
