Make sure that it is at TDC on compression stroke! If not it will be trying to fire at the end of exhaust stroke,beginning of intake stroke.Totaly out of time-lots of pops and no run.Standing at front of tractor, on right side of bellhousing right where the frame rail is there is small hole about 1" dia.
