If I let my 2N set more than a few days I have trouble starting it. It is a 12 volt conversion and this problem just started happening in the last year or so. It will crank good and seem like it wants to start. It may even run rough, miss and then stop. Sometimes I may even need to use starting fluid to get it to start and or run. I've noticed that when it does catch and start to run it will blow a lot of blue smoke, like its a 2 cycle engine. It will stop this after a minute or 2 and runs good, no lack of power. If I stop it and need to start it again, it fires right up with no problem. More of a problem in cold weather than in warm or hot weather. I'm running Autolite 437 or Champion H12 plugs. Good spark when checked, also seems to have good gas flow. Would it help to put Spark plug non-foulers on the plugs? Would a hotter plug help, if so what range would you suggest? I'm also thinking of going to some type of automotive or other type of dry paper air filter instead of the oil bath air cleaner with the jar pre-filter. I'm running 10W-30 oil. I don't use the tractor often, but would like it to be available for a back up for snow removal, and other tasks. Have a back blade and a Wagner loader on it. Thanks for any and all help and suggestions.
