Have you got a half an inch of nice blue white fire at the plugs? Bet what you have is yellowish and lame. If so look at point gap.

If the fire is good Dell reports that unleaded gas will quickly foul plugs that otherwise look OK. If so change the plugs.

Your mileage may vary

Make sure you have correct voltage at coil, I had a problem where I did not have enough voltage and it would try but would not start, if I remember correctly it is suppose to be 3.5 - 4 volts with the points closed with a 6 volt coil if you have a 12 volt coil I' am not sure what it is, but I'am sure one of these other fellows will have that answer for you. Are'nt these guy's great on the n board, you can always count on someone having an answer for you.

I've had this happen to me before. Try pull starting the tractor. I've had N's do this to me. Put it in 3rd gear. I'de bet it will start in a short distance. Sometimes you can crank it over till the battery is dead but a short pull will start it. Sounds crazy but it will probably start normally after that. Every once in a blue moon I have to do this to my 600 to get it to start.

My mech. says that sometimes the starter will draw to much juice when cranking thus droping the voltage to the points. Pull starting causes no loss of power & then you would have a hotter spark.

make sure you have the firing order right and the point gap right. also did you have the distributor off.
