Usually, if you open the cap where you pour in the transhydraulic fluid, you can use a big screw driver and pry the gear forward. Witht regard to the running performance, first check the sprk to make sure that you have a FAT, BLUISH-WHITE SPARK. If you don"t know how to check the spark, come back and let me know and I"ll explain it. If you don"t have the requisite FAT, BLUISH-WHITE SPARK, you"ll need to find out why. Corroded, burned or mis-adjusted points, corroded or damaged wiring, bad key switch, wrong coil polarity, etc are the usual causes.
If you have a good spark, then make sure that your timing is correct, the firing order(your plugs are connected to the distributor in the correct order)is correct(1-3-4-2 and the distributor runs counterclockwise) and the advance is working as it should advancing the spark as the rpm increases. If all that is good, make sure that you have adequate fuel delivery to the carb. Get a container, open the tank valve, remove the plug from the bottom of tyhe carb and the fuels should CONTINUOUSLY GUSH OUT LIKE A COW PEEIN" ON A FLAT ROCK! If it dribbles out or is intermittent, check the vent hole in the gas cap to make sur eit"s clear then working back from the carb , check the various screens, there is one in the fuel inlet elbow on the carb, one above the sediment bowl and the last one is in the top of the tank valve in the tank. if that isn"t the problem than your float valve is clogged or the float hung up. Rap the side of the carb with a wooden block and see if that helps. If it doen"t, the carb has to come off for a good cleaning and rebuild. Do all these checks systematically and record the results so that you can analyze them and if you have problems understanding somthing, get back to the Ferguson Forum for more help.
