A friend of mine bought a very nice looking 154 Cub a couple of weeks ago. The auctioneer claimed it "ran good" and several people at the sale told my friend they "had heard it run in the past few days...".
The sheet metal & tires are very good, no signs of abuse or even much use at all. The seat is cracked from the sun, but other than that, it appears to be an extremely lightly used tractor.
BUT, when they got it home & tried starting it, it would not even try to fire, even though the engine turns over fine...

There is no clanking or any abnormal noise while cranking the engine...
Any ideas on how this can be???
He's going to pull the pan as soon as he can get a little time & get the belly mower out from under it...
