I HAVE A 48-N FRONT MOUNT DIST., THAT DOES'NT SEEM TO BE GETTING FUEL IN THE CYLENDERS. I DISASSEMBLED THE MARVEL-SCHEBLER CARB, CLEANED IT,RE-INSTALLED IT, AND STILL GET DRY SPARK PLUGS. THE TRACTOR HAS NOT STARTED IN OVER A YEAR, DUE TO SOME OTHER NOW CORRECTED PROBLEMS. I HAVE EXCELLENT CRISP BLUE SPARK FROM ALL FOUR PLUGS, NEW POINTS ,IGN. WIRES, PLUGS, CONDENSER, COIL, CAP&ROTOR, COMPLETE WIRE HARNESS, BATTERY. I'VE HAD THE DIST. OUT ABOUT NINE TIMES, CHECKING GAPS AND CORRECT GROUNDS, AND ALL SEAMS RIGHT. I'VE HAD SEVERAL KNOWLEDGABLE AUTOMOTIVE MINDS GIVE SEVERAL "DID YOU TRY THIS OR THAT". SOME HELPED OTHERS DID NOT. I HAVE REMOVED THE PLUGS, PUT A SMALL AMOUNT OF GAS IN EACH CYLINDER, AND TRIED TO START IT WITH NO LUCK. I KNOW THERE IS GAS IN THE CARB BECAUSE AFTER I RE-INSTALLED IT, SEVERAL DROPS OF FUEL LEAK OUT THE CHOKE SHAFT AND THE AIR INTAKE HOSE CONNECTION TO THE CARB. I'M THINKING A TOTAL OVERHAUL OF THE CARB, THE "COMPLETE KIT" CARBURETOR RAPAIR KIT FROM "CT FARM&COUNTRY", THAT COST $50.00. OR, A NEW CARB FROM THE SAME OUTFIT FOR $137.00. THEY ALSO LIST A REPLACEMENT, NEW, "ZENITH" CARB, TO REPLACE THE MARVEL-SCHEBLER. IT'S BEEN WAY TO LONG SINCE I HEARD IT RUN. I'M RUNNING OUT OF IDEAS, AND I DO'NT WANT TO THROW MONEY AT IT AND CROSS MY FINGERS. I'M GETTING SPARK. I PUT GAS DIRECTLY INTO THE CYLINDER. I KNOW THE TIMING IS RIGHT. SHE CRANKS AND CRANKS BUT NOT SO MUCH AS A BURP OR A FART. ANYBODY..... .ANYTHING..... .....
