Well, since my B has not been starting very easily I've been looking for culprits. I found one, but not all. I was reading some of the back posts about starting and how people have been having trouble. One of the suggestions was to take the air filter cap off that holds the oil. Well this did improve the tractor. It started fairly quickly and sounded like it had a lot more horsepower to it, I also found in the oil another remenant of a wasps' nest. I know that the air filter needs to be cleaned out up there, and I read the article about the mud daubers in the articles, but I don't want to drill out a perfectly good filter, and I assume there is a way to clean that out really well, but how?Also I tried starting again, and I would hear a sort of blub blub, like it was firing but not catching. I checked the spark on the plugs and it is nice and blue. Any suggestions? Also electrical wise, my battery isn't charging, I did a search on this site to see what others had to say and couldn't find anything, Any ideas? There also happens to be an apparent short somewhere as my battery drains when the tractor isn't used for a couple of days. Any help to any of these problems would be much apreciated. Thanks, Karl
