Spark at plugs but no go

Posted by Joseph P on May 28, 2002 at 22:51:52 from (206.243.130.233):

I am really confused. I parked my A a week ago, removed the plug wires, masked off some parts, masked off all the elctrical connections, put a plastic bag over the magneto and washed my tractor. I removed the manifold and carb too.

I then did a light spray paint job on it. All of my wires are fine and my battery is weak and I have a blue spark when I arc plug 1 to the frame.

But I cannnnot get it to start. The motor turns over. I have spark.

I noticed that my sediment bowl has some debris at the bottom of it. Some but not a lot.

I noticed my manifold is missing three bolts but the three other bolts are tight.

Because I removed the plug wires nothing should have changed. ??

I removed my wheels and when I remounted them I had to turn the hubs to align the bolts to remount them. Would I have changed the timing? The tractor was in neutral.

I'll check the fuel flow to the carburetor tomorrow.

I could also try spraying ether into the air cleaner while cranking it too.

What do you all suggest? JP
