Ok, was just outside with the old girl (not my wife). Reversed wires 1 and 4 in case the timing was 180 out managed to almost burn my barn down with the fireball that came out. (Note - will be removing hay and straw stacks from the barn in any future attempts.) Put the wires back on the right way (1-3-2-4) and it cranks and chugs and sputters until I stop cranking the starter. In which case it just goes into shut off mode (It is really good at shut off mode). Put my hand over the air cleaner tube and felt incredible suction but it sounded as though there was an air leak somewhere, I know my hand does not provide a perfect seal but it sounded more like it was coming from around the intake manifold took the whole air cleaner pipe off and blocked the top of the intake manifold but could not hear any leaks.Every so often though I get a puff of exhaust out the air cleaner tube, this is not in any consistent manner it is more of an intermittent thing, I know for certain that I am getting fuel and fire but NO actual hard hitting ignition, on a scale of startability from 1-10 1 being dead in a ditch and 10 being running faithfully this tractor seems to be sitting at about an 8 where it tries really hard to start but is lacking some sort of gusto to complete the operation. Hopefully this is helpful information and it can help you REAL experts that were around when these tractors were being manufactured provide me who is maybe a little too young to have known these things the information I am looking for. I do appreciate ALL the help and helpful suggestions I have been getting but for all of you on here that have been helping me for nearly a year I am sure you all can appreciate my frustration. I really am mechanically apt I am just new to Antique tractors. Anyways enough rambling, look forward to the next flood of helpful suggestions.
