I had the same thing on my 50, if you are getting spark timing may be ok. On the little fuel pick up tube there is a same check valve that does stick if the fuel is bad. Just spray some carb cleaner and make sure that is free and then try. Timing marks are on the flywheel inside the clutch cover with access on the right hand side over the main clutch. It is a pipe plug, remove it and rotate the engine with a long screw driver and listen to the click on the mag with the line on the clutch. Best of luck. How about a few pictures

Hey Tony W., Please send me your e-mail address so that we can talk JD's. Thanks for the advice on the check valve. My JD R is a 1949. Thanks again,
Don

Just a thought, I had a problem starting a pony on my dads 830 diesel awhile back. The tractor sits for a long time and I found the gas goes bad. I changed the gas and then it ran. I never worked on an R so I can't help you much there. Happy Trails, Dave!
