I am working on a 340 utility:
Right off the bat I will say that #2 compression is lower than the other three cylinders but is improving. The tractor sat for a few years. I beleive the rings are starting to come back to life.
The tractor will run on any three cylinders, it will run on any two cylinders and will run on any one cylinder. It will not run with out a miss however with all four cylinders sparking away. #2 is the favored cylinder to miss on although the miss can move to a different cylinder if it is already fireing on #2. I have replaced the manifold gasket, the head gasket and set the valves (many times). Oh great gurus what am I missing? The spark (distributer) will throw an easy inch from the wire end to my knuckles. Nice and blue very painful spark. I am sure I am overlooking the obvious but I will chalk it up to a lot of hours and just being tired.
