Hi again folks. I already tried to post this message but it never appeared, so I'm trying again. Please forgive me if you see it twice.Thanks for all your responses. I will try the distributor suggestions from Zane and Dell. Hooker, the original foot style starter switch has been disconnected and replaced with a new key type mounted on the dash. To Tymoc, the pts, plugs, etc. were all just part of a normal tune up. The alt. was replaced cuz the old one stopped putting out. The tractor was already converted to 12v. when I purchased it and was starting/running fine. The solenoid was sticking, had to tap it with a hammer to get it to engage, so I put on the new one. The old coil died, so hence the new one, and yes, I am getting spark. If I spray starter fluid into the carb it trys to fire, sometimes, not always. The old carb was constantly flooding, so I tried a rebuild kit---no change, so, I put a brand new carb on, but it floods also and runs out the air intake. As far as the way it "quit", last time I used it was to scrape my road, and it did seem to be "popping" a bit while using it. Then I didn't use it for 30 days +/- and now it just wouldn't start. Hope this info may be of more help, it is greatly appreciated. Thanks again, Paw.
