Gas 3600 still runs rough

I posted a problem a couple months ago about my gas 3600 backfiring after about 20 minutes under load. I was advised to check the fuel filters. I had two problems, one I can't seem to find a fuel shutoff for my gas tank and 2 the only filter mentioned in my owner's manual was the glass bowl. I put a bucket to catch the gas and pulled the glass bowl and cleaned it very well.

My tractor is still backfiring worse now. Basically as soon as I start it it backfires constantly. I'm wondering if a plug went bad or something and it is not fuel but firing on 2 cylinders. Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated. The grass is getting tall. Thanks.

Brian

Brian//Do you have wires crossed? Remove dist cap look for a line that looks like a pencil line (carbon track)if so scretch it out if condition improves replace cap.

Soundguy,

Yes I have messed with the timing, and I am pulling the plugs and wires to inspect. I was focused on the fuel issue, because that is what everyone who responded last time said was the most likely culprit. Thanks for the response.

Remove the distributor cap and check for moisture. Dry it out with a hair dryer.

Uh.. well.. have you done anything to help diagnose the problem like pulling wires and plugs to inspect? None of us here can do that for you.

Tan plugs are good.. white plugs are lean.. powder black plugs are rich, oily black plugs are fouled.

Have you dinked with timing?
