need advice

1) Starter will turn engine over, but cannot get engine to turn if pulling tractor and release clutch....if sitting still in 4th, cannot "rock" and get engine to turn....

2) No gas going through carb when remove bottom drain nut, plenty of gas coming through line if discontect where it goes into carb....

3) No spark at plugs...I've been looking on this forum for a step by step way to trace the problem...haven't found it yet but will keep looking...

Thanks in advance

As for spark, check to see that the points are opening and closing. easy to do with either distribuitor type.

As for the engine, has it been rebuilt lately? If so, i've known several newly rebuilt engines to not pull start just from being so tight. I jumped 12V to mine right after the rebuilt to get it to turn over. If that's not it, you are trying to pull start it in 4th gear, right? 1st gear won't do it. If that's not it, does the tractor act like it's in two gears at once? That would also kill the engine unless the clutch was blocked down.

Hope this gives you some places to start. Keep us posted!

Thanks...I won't be able to work on it until next week-end, so this thread will go way down the list, but I will reply anyhow...hoping for luck, Rusty.
