No worries, I understand your frustration, I have tinkered plenty, though not quitting my day job, the information/wisdom from youll is much appreciated.
-Over a year ago, it was running, started sputtering, then died. Plugs were fouled, put in new plugs, to get it to the barn. Wasnt running good, but made. Shut it off, and tried to start the next day, nothing. Took it to a guy to work on, kept saying he would get to it, never did so I brought it back home recently
-Installed new points, condenser, cap, wires. I now have good spark.
-upon trying to start it, again, nothing. Took the carb off to make sure it was clean, discovered the bowl cracked, purchased a new carb.
-now to where I am at now, in video posted, it would fire, but not start. Sometimes a flame/backfire outside the muffler.
-someone posted about checking for stuck valves, so yesterday, removed the valve cover and saw that I had a stuck valve, was able to free that easily.
-I have never removed the magneto, as far as timing, I was referring to turning the flywheel, and listening to the click, and it clicked right on the mark on the flywheel, and the frame of the tractor.
-I have switched the wires around, and it does nothing different.
-I was reading about the the float adjustment, so that was why I was messing with that, so it was perfect, however thats not my main issue here. It is now not shutting off the fuel when the bowl is full (float is good), so there needs to be an adjustment so the needle is closing correctly, doing that tomorrow. -I will do compression test tomorrow, and report back!

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Godfrey, Illinois Country Days - by Cindy Ladage. Except for last fourth of July's Old Gold show in Springfield, Illinois, I don't remember when it was so hot. Nevertheless, the heat didn't keep vendors and visitors alike from enjoying the third annual Country Day's Event. Jane Elliott said the event was originally a one man show. "Barry Seiler, owner of Country Town Farm Supply store used to invite people up to the Johne Deere store. He would give hats and a free meal for everyone that brings a tractor."
