Thought I'd replace the springs in the distributor since the spark advance wasn't working. Now it won't start. What I did:
- Removed distributor cap.
- Marked a lineup line.
- Removed 2 bolts.
- Pulled out distributor, small amount of hydraulic fluid comes out.
- Took apart distributor, found it oily and gummy down by the weights/springs. Springs very weak. Took out points and condenser when I didn't need to (DOH!).
- Got new springs ($26 ouch).
- Used carb cleaner to get grunge off all parts.
- Several hours later kicked myself for not taking photos so I knew how to reassemble for sure.
- Put things in like I remembered, put points spring and condenser wire on the bolt. (that right?)
- Reassembled, set points to about .020".
- Found the carb cleaner removed my lineup mark.
- Installed distributor close to where I think it was.
- Turned engine to where TDC mark lined up with the pointer.
- Rotated the distributor until #1 plug sparks.
- Tighten down distributor, install plugs verifying order.
- Try to start. It seemed like it wanted to start but just wasn't quite there. Tried turning the distributor both ways. One way it would sound a little more like starting, other way it would too after you got so far but it would also backfire like a gunshot. So, any ideas what I did wrong? Really was wanting to use this tractor tomorrow. Thanks. Wish the service and operators manuals would arrive.
