Carry a hand full of tools, be ready to catch it in the act.
Start with the spark, have an old spark plug with the electrode bent straight or broke off, put it in a plug wire and ground the base, start the engine and see if it will jump the gap. If no, the spark is weak, points out of adjustment, bad condenser(often bad out of the box), bad or wrong coil (it should not be too hot to touch), bad wires, cap, rotor. All ignition components are now poor quality imports. Often they are made wrong, boxed wrong, or slightly different. Don't assume new always means good!
There is a drain plug in the carb bowl. Be ready to quickly pull the plug and see what kind of flow you have.

I dropped off the tractor expecting a transformation from a 6 volt to a 12 volt system utilizing the original generator housing, and a total rewiring of the whole tractor. The front end center pin bushing was worn also so I ask that they replace it if they had time. Well, that’s wha
