I have aquired a 1946 M that does not want to start with the starter. Battery is hot, starter rebuilt, new plugs, points, and condensor in magneto. New copper core plug wires. This tractor will run good if I pull or roll it off and it does not smoke. It just won't start on its own. I Compression tested all four cylinders today on a cold engine and they ranged from 60 to 70 PSI. Is this amount of compression to low? Could I have a carburetor problem? Stuck rings? It was used a lot over the years but it has been setting for the last three until recently. Do I just keep parking it on a hill and roll it off, or is it time for an overhaul? Suggestions?????
