No worries, I understand your frustration, I have tinkered plenty, though not quitting my day job, the information/wisdom from youll is much appreciated.
-Over a year ago, it was running, started sputtering, then died. Plugs were fouled, put in new plugs, to get it to the barn. Wasnt running good, but made. Shut it off, and tried to start the next day, nothing. Took it to a guy to work on, kept saying he would get to it, never did so I brought it back home recently
-Installed new points, condenser, cap, wires. I now have good spark.
-upon trying to start it, again, nothing. Took the carb off to make sure it was clean, discovered the bowl cracked, purchased a new carb.
-now to where I am at now, in video posted, it would fire, but not start. Sometimes a flame/backfire outside the muffler.
-someone posted about checking for stuck valves, so yesterday, removed the valve cover and saw that I had a stuck valve, was able to free that easily.
-I have never removed the magneto, as far as timing, I was referring to turning the flywheel, and listening to the click, and it clicked right on the mark on the flywheel, and the frame of the tractor.
-I have switched the wires around, and it does nothing different.
-I was reading about the the float adjustment, so that was why I was messing with that, so it was perfect, however thats not my main issue here. It is now not shutting off the fuel when the bowl is full (float is good), so there needs to be an adjustment so the needle is closing correctly, doing that tomorrow. -I will do compression test tomorrow, and report back!

Today's Featured Article - New Hitches For Your Old Tractor - by Chris Pratt. For this article, we are going to make the irrational and unlikely assumption that you purchased an older tractor that is in tip top shape and needs no immediate repairs other than an oil change and a good bath. To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
