Ive been a mechanic for a long time,and Ive seen 2 coils go bad and neither one stopped it from running,just made it run bad and hard to start hot.I think it was because of rust and the oil leaked out of one.Now maybe coils go bad more for lots of people,maybe theres different coils I never worked with,but coils dont go bad very much as far as I can tell.Also a motor that doesnt have much compression usually smokes quite a bit,maybe even blows oil out the exhaust,and definitely fouls plugs.If your motor is wore out buy a spark plug sandblaster cleaner from Harbor Freight,pull the plugs and blast the crud off of them,blow all the sand off of them with air and it probobly will run.I just started a lawnmower today by cleaning the plug that way. If your motor is not wore out,then it most likely is a wire connection somewhere,or maybe a slim chance of vapor lock,but thats kind of like that bad coil,I never saw a tractor do that myself and its not likely it will happen with gravity flow.That leaves the condenser,and if that goes bad it usually runs rough first then quits until it cools off.Besides all that it could be lots of things.Best thing to do is like somebody else said right after it wont run see if you have a good spark.If you have good spark,and its wore out real bad it might not have compression.

The garden was already sprouting when we hooked up the mid-mount shovel cultivators to the Pony. The seed bed was soft enough that the rear end would spin and slowly work its way to the downhill side of the gardens slight incline. From this, we learned our lesson sinc
