Have had the tractor since March. Has had no problem starting until battery wore out. New battery started on first pull, with no choke usual. Throttle at half open. Let tractor sit for 2 weeks and wont start at all. Engine turns over fine, battery seems strong. Only occasionally would I hear a pop from a cylinder. Not sure if it was a power stroke or if it was just the sound of the gases being compressed. Started to investigate. No obvious problems with fuel system. Carberator is getting fresh, clean gas. And I drained it a few times to see if it was flooded. Still wont work. Then went to investigating the throttle. It was found that the linkage of the speed control lever had been "modified" so that basically the lever on the carb was always fully open. Not sure why this was. Adjusted governor lever, speed control lever, and carb lever so they were all proper per service manual. Still wont start. Investigated the distributor and all wires. All seem intact and fine. Distributor seems fine. Repeated attempts to start the motor resulted in what I believe to be a dead battery or a ruined starter motor. Now nothing happens when I pill the starter linkage. I have no battery tester or charger. Will buy one. Removed spark plugs, they seem old. Any ideas?
