I am absolutely and positively certain that the mangeto is generating enough spark to pick me up off the ground and spin me around 3 times! The engine is also timed properly. All four of the plugs are firing with a hot blue spark. I have taken them out to check each one when the engine is hot! They have some black carbon on them but they are working! There is ample gas getting to the carburetor because it begins dripping out after a few spins of the engine by the starter. I even put high test gas in the cotten picken old varmit! The engine runs perfect when I pull it off with another tractor! I do not have a compression tester, but the way the engine spins so fast with the starter when it is hot leads me to think that the compression is low. Any other thoughts will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, John
