Last month, the D17 fired right up with no issues. Then the other day I tried it and the battery was totally dead (I left the cable on). So tried to jump it and it turned over, but wouldn't catch (tried choke on and off) and yes I had the gas shuttle on. We could smell gas.....flooding I suspect. Replaced the battery -it was old anyway- and checked the distributor. The magneto looked fine, Points were not scorched and lead line arced. Plugs all pulled and each one was sparking. When I had the plugs pulled and each was wet and each cylinder blew like a whale spout so I figured she was flooded. So let her sit for a day then tried again....besides the fact that there was gas all over -I left the shuttle on and it was dripping like crazy from the carb! -it would turn over easily, but again not even sound like it was going to catch. I replaced the plugs regardless thinking they weren't sparking enough(?) and still no joy. What now? (Gas was fresh.) Carb jetting? It's my first Allis, so I don't know the nuances yet. It's such a simple machine, you'd think it'd be obvious. Is there a bleeder valve that I'm missing? A kill switch I erroneously hit? A butterfly valve I can check easily? A secret to these old choke knobs? Best throttle position for starting?

The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
