my 128 with the stalling problem.
i think the tractor is possessed. or maybe im nuts, or just stupid.
i checked the timing with a timing light. a little off. before i adjusted it ,i took out the points, inspected them, no problems, put back in, checked with timing light.timing light seemed to be skipping, not a steady strobe. timing was a little off. adjusted points, ran rough, adjusted again, now it wont start.
turned flywheel to the timing mark, adjusted points so they are just starting to open, wont start.
pulled fuel line at carb, free flow.
is it possible we are all looking at the wrong things?
if a wire, maybe the wire to the points, was frayed somewhere. moving it when replacing points or when it got hot, would cause it to break the circuit, or short.
any electrical experts think i would be better off replacing wires then chasing the timing?
so, the question now is, what would cause a tractor to not start if the timing was at least close, and the timing light to skip?
or am i just stupid and missing something ?
wait, i am stupid. i should check for spark at the plug, shouldnt i? be right back with the answer.
