I recently bought a non-running but in good condition f20. After cleaning the sediment bowl and getting fuel to the carb and getting spark out of the mag I was able to pull start it. It ran poorly and I had just started to adjust the carb when it died and I have been unable to get it running since. I have rebuilt the carb, put in a new mag coil, points and condenser, plugs and plug wires and all I can get is backfireing and fire out of the exhaust. I have taken the mag off for what seems like a dozen times and re-timed following the book instructions. The valves seem to be moving correctly and there is compression on #1 when I bring it to TDC. The engine builds oil pressure. Does anyone have any idea of what I am doing wrong? Any tricks to this that I am not seeing? I must be missing somthing but cant figure out what. Is there any on-line service manual for this tractor? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, John.
