I don't think the guy has the books for it. I need the tune up specs and any tricks to making em run right. He has gone through the carb but claims he can't find any points. Has a new cap and rotor. He has to turn the dizzy to start it and then turn it again to make it run right. He just uses it for a little mowing and snow in the winter. Thanks Rick [Reply]   [No Email]

The points are under the dust cap under the router button. Bandit [Reply]  [No Email]

He has to retard it to keep from kicking the starter , then when it is running he has to advance it again. [Reply]  [No Email]

But he claims that when the changed the cap there was a bare metal plate and no points. I'm thinking that the plate is a dust cover and the points are under that. I know he's had the tractor for a while but isn't much of a mechanic. I'm going to look at it for him but it's 90 miles one way so I want to have all the help I can get. Rick [Reply]  [No Email]
