I have a 12 volt BN that I am having troubles getting to fire. I replaced the spark plugs last week (Autolite 3116) and it fired up after a few tries. I went out to start it a couple days later and the engine would crank, but it would not fire. I tried until I ran the battery down a couple times with no success in firing. This afternoon I went out and tried a third time and still I had no luck. I am very lost right now and very disappointed. When I first got this tractor last fall, it fired up each time with no problem. Since then it has progressively gotten more difficult to start and now it wont fire at all. I am baffled.
I am trying to figure out what to do next. The carb is leaking from the choke valve, the drain screw, and the hose between the air cleaner and the carb. The front plate on the starter gets very warm after I try to turn it over. Where do I go from here, new wiring harness/battery cables, new carb, new battery etc??
Thank you for your time. If you are a vet--thanks for your service!!

You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
