JKC.........exhaust pipe "pop" is usually caused by "rich-mixture" and hot carbon deposit in the pipe. Rich-mixture is usually caused by 1-sparkie not sparkeling occassionally. Reason for not sparkeling, cracked ceramic center insulator or invisable carbon fouled sparkie. I'd start with new set of sparkies, and ALWAYS check the gap outta the box per yer tractor engine specs. (most likely 0.025) Then iff'n not "cured", check yer sparkie wires. You doubt? Start up yer tractor on DARK-NITE, and watch for blue sparkies dancing on sparkies wires. Should be soft and flexable coppercore; instead of hard and cracked. DO NOT USE modern anti-radiostatic carbon-core sparkie wires. The carbon-core is like "glass" and will crack internally and cause intermittant misses and weak sparkies..........Dell, yer self-appointed sparkie-meister

I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
