Thank you all for the quick and helpful responses thusfar. I GREATLY appreciate everyone of you!!
First of all, we have tried just about everything you all have mentioned (as far as trying other parts). The best we could get was a VERY TINY BIT of spark out of the plug wires at the plugs. When the guy wanted us to work on it, he came to the house with the distributor with him (oh no!!), so there is NO TELLING if the timing is correct or not. Who knows, he could have taken the governor off too; BUT we should still be getting spark!! We have not tried another condensor yet, but have a couple extra used ones we can try.
If you guys can give me until say Friday evening or Saturday; we should be able to get back on it. I actually just got my 1st JOB, and will be starting tomorrow. I am working as an Environmental Engineer with the State Dept., so we will see how that goes!! haha.
What we are going to do is:
1st install and properly torque a new head gasket (long story)
2nd while the head is off, we are gonna check timing
3rd after all of that is done and bolted back down, we will go from there.
For some reason....the owner takes the head off (I didn't ask why), and HE USES THE OLD HEAD GASKET BACK ON THE TRACTOR!!!! (shaking my head), I am about 30 years younger than he, and even my inexperienced self knows better than that. Anyways...despite the head leaking all the way around it, we figured we'd go ahead and try to see why there was NO SPARK at all. I will keep you all updated with what we find, and thank you soooo much for your help and precious time. There really aint no tellin' what he's done to the tractor. HAHA.
