some basics.
1.) makes sure all ignition components are in good working order. Plugs, wires, points, condensor, rotor, and cap. No corrosion, good connections. I realize that you don't want to waste money, but there are no shortcuts here. Clean it shiny clean or replace it. 15 years of sitting WILL take it's toll.
2.) Take valve cover off, and either start it or turn it over by hand. are all valves operating and do they have full travel. Even if a valve is moving, it needs to have full travel and close completely.
3.) Check fuel delivery. Clean out carb, sediment bowl, and lines. New fresh gasoline is an absolute MUST.
After all this, if you still have issues, post back and we will go from there.
ps. if you find a stuck or sticky valve, apply your favorite penetrating oil FROM THE TOP. Also, you can use a heat gun or propane soldering torch to heat up the valve guide. Alternate heat and penetrating oil. Moderate to light raps with a brass hammer can start to break a stuck valve loose, BUT DON'T OVERDO it. For a really badly stuck valve, you will have to remove the head. It also helps if you can keep it running long enough to heat up the head before you start this, it will really help. running the engine with the valve cover off is not a big deal for this procedure.

Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
