If it has a magneto it would run without a battery so that's not the problem. The magneto should produce a distinct and fairly loud clicking noise when running the starter or cranking by hand. That noise is the impulse mechanism tripping and causing the magneto to spin fast as the rotor goes past each tower in the distributer cap. The magneto produces its own spark so this extra speed is needed to produce a hot spark at cranking speed. You need to check for spark at each spark plug. You can just hold a plug against a good ground or as I do use a rather inexpensive spark tester. Spark tester is a threaded shaft with a point on one end that can be adjusted to give you the spark gap you want. An alligator clip on one end allows you to ground it and a tip on the other end looks like the end of a spark plug where the wire goes on. It makes checking spark easy especially if you don't have a helper. Dave

I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
