Getting spark at coil and plugs. Plenty of fuel. Turns over strong, but blue flame backfire from exhaust manifold. Might have a slight crack in manifold, but shouldn't she still start? Distributor parts look relatively new. She ran great, stalled, and now won't re-start. Any help would be appreciated!

Can you give us more info? Was the tractor working fine and then die? Is it possible water got in the distributor cap or the wires got wet? Did you change any parts? Sounds like timing is way off. EEA (Pa)

Max..... ..Is there a possibility that you just might have gotten the sparkplug wires crossed?

Firing order for 8N side mount is 1,2,4,3 and the distributor rotor goes counterclockwize.

Hope this helps..... ...Dell
