I sure don't claim to know it all, but can sure usually get a tractor running. LOL. A friend bought a cub a while back, and after installing a battery, we drove it on the trailer. It ran good as advertised. Unloaded it, and parked it in the shed. He tried to start it a week later, and nothing happened. We noticed the carb was warped, and the bolt mounting hole threads were bad. Resurfaced the carb and re-threaded the holes. Noticed the compression was low, so he and another guy honed and ringed it, ground the valves. The mag spark was a little weak, so he got another mag, good spark. Still no start. Checked the timing three times now, went through the carb three times, removed the manifold and checked it over, looks good. We have good spark and timing, but no gas in the cylinders when we pull the plugs. Primed a couple of cylinders, and notta pop. I DUNNO!!!!!!!! Cubs seem to do this to me. I still suspect the carb, but does anybody have a clue why????
