So I see people ask about this and what all they try to do to get one running again. I figured I would post the steps I take or should I say some of the steps since I am sure to leave out a few. #1 I check the fluids. If oil level is ok in the engine and hyds #2 Make sure the engine will turn over but not move it much #3 ATF treatment and fill the cylinders with ATF and pour as much down the exhaust as I can. #4 I use a piece of wire from the battery to the coil and watch for a small spark when I touch it to the ignition side of the coil. No spark means point needs some work. I check the gas tank and if it looks good pour in a little gas with the air cleaner tube off if easy to do that is. I watch for the carb to leak and if so shut the gas off #5 after a day or so I pull the spark plugs back out and spin the engine over using a 12 volt battery. Yes it makes a mess and you learn not to stand on the plug side of the engine. Made that mistake a couple times LOL. #6 I hot wire it and see if I can get it to run. #7 from there I do what I need to do to make it run well. By the way I do not worry about coolant till after I have it running. Yes one can not run it long as in less then 5 minutes with out coolant but it can be done for a short period of time

Today's Featured Article - Tractor Generators - by Chris Pratt. As a companion to the articles on three-brush and two-brush generators, it seemed fitting that we should provide our readers with a description of how a generator works in lay terms. The difficulty with all those "theory of operation" texts is that they border on principles of electricity or physics and such. Since I know nothing of either, you will have to put up with looking at the common sense side of how generators work which means we "
