8N Won't Start

It is normal for gas to run out the carb but it might be flooded real bad.

Make sure you have good spark at all plugs. I just lay them out on the block.

Leave the plugs out for a couple of hours so things can dry up.

Hook up a 12V jump so you won't run your 6V into dust. Put the neg. on the starter post (not bat.) and then the pos. on a good ground (the running board works well and you won't mind a few arc scars). Be careful. as soon as the pos. hits the tractor the starter goes. Make sure its in neutral. This will really crank the engine and give good spark but won't hurt anything.

I'd shut off the gas and wait until she starts to pop. Then gas it. Don't choke it at first, if its flooded it needs air. when she goes it might backfire and smoke a bit from too much gas in manifold/exhaust.

Good luck!

ps I never have much luck with starter fluid but it does work for some. Use it very lightly!
