Plugs are dry when pulled. I have spark on them with them pulled and grounded to block.
I'm going to pull the carb tomorrow. It's like the gas isn't getting into the intake. I'm also gonna dump some gas into the cyls thru the plug holes to see if I get a glimmer of ignition.
The weird thing is that this tractor has always been an easy start, with minimal choke. Now, it won't fire even once. Not one cylinder. I think what someone suggested about the float being stuck, or a needle is right. I did rap on it tonight just before dark, but I didn't spend a lot of time on it.
It won't even fire with quick start spray, and it pukes out gas after I stop cranking the engine. The battery is good, I just keep the charger on it while I'm messing with it.
I can't guess what else it could be but a stuck thing inside the carb not letting anything thru.
Would spray direct into the intake manifold without the carb on it fire the engine?
It's like there's a mouse nest there blocking it's passage! If the plug is giving me good spark that rules out electrical/timing/condenser/points/etc, right? Even if the timing was off (which it wasn't when I parked it last year) it might run a little off, but not not at all, right?

I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
