WD-45 No Spark (Update -- 7/2/2020)

So an update on this WD-45 that has been sitting for 10 years in a dirt floor barn at my cousin's place without running... I spent today working on this tractor one more time, and after a 4 hour marathon session in the heat, I finally had success! Even though it was hot and humid and miserable all day, it was worth it. I took a bit of video of the event and of the engine running:

If you listen to the video, it does seem like there is some engine flutter... Not sure if I have a miss on one cylinder, or if the exhaust manifold has a leak or one of the valves is sticking or what, but it makes a pretty nasty thumping sound from time to time while running with the throttle cracked open a little bit. Also pretty easy to get it to backfire. But hey, it runs, so it's a start!!

So what all did it take... I filed the points, cleaned the gas tank (there was a rotting piece of wood in there that was causing lots of trouble), new gas cap, new sediment bowl assembly and gaskets, cleaned the carburetor, new carb gaskets, fresh gas, topped off fluids (1.5 gal of antifreeze, 1 gallon of hydraulic fluid between the loader and the rear rams, 2 quarts of oil for the motor), new gear shift boot, charged battery and cleaned all of the battery connections in the ignition side... And then today, it finally came to fruition!







Also someone had asked me awhile back about the wheel weights, so I took some pictures of the markings on them.



Thanks for the assistance along the way; you guys have been fantastic as always!!
