If you have it timed correctly and it will still not start when pulling it, you may have bad fuel. I was helping a neighbor work on a 1066, he was putting a new TA assembly in it and the tractor had only sit for a month while he was getting it all together and then split it and put it back together. We tried everything to get it started, I used my tractor to pull him around for a long time and all we could ever get was smoke but would not run.
