About a year ago I posted a message about my dad's tractor. Here is the message I posted for him:"I was bush-hogging my land a few days ago when my MH 50 just up and died on me. It was running only about an hour before dying on me. At first I thought it had ran out of gas. After checking the tank, I realized this was not the problem. I checked the plugs but they also did not seem to be the problem. I actually burned my starter up trying to get it to fire back up. After rebuilding my starter, I'm still having the same problem. It puzzles me considering I've never had a problem out of her before. It just sounds like it doesn't want to fire. And when it does sound like it wants to fire, it doesn't want to take the gas. Could it have jumped timing? I'm also having the carb. rebuilt just to be on the safe side, but it was running to smoothly to just die the way it did. Any advice anyone could offer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. "
It's been a year and this tractor is still giving him problems. I will be visiting him in about a month from overseas and would love to help him resolve the issues he is having. He just told me that he set the timing and the tractor ran fine all day long. The next day he wanted to work with it again, and it would not crank up. He said it sounded as if it would not take the gas. He would get it to fire up every now and again, but once he tried putting it in gear or giving it the gas, it would stall out. Leaving him puzzled again. He has rebuilt the starter, carb, and now reset the timing and still it will not run. Any advise anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
