I recently acquired a '48 cub, that has been shedded for years to hopefully do some cultivating in the garden. Problem is that I can't get it to crank. I washed out the gas tank, cleaned the sediment bowl, gas line, carb, and exhuast manifold. I have got fire to every spark plug but yet I don't get any smoke when I try to crank it. Could a lack of sufficient compression cause the cylinders not to get any gas? I don't think the valves are stuck. Because I am fairly new to cubs any info would be greatly appreciated. I am "chomping at the bit" to get this great little tractor restored being that it was given to me as a payment for helping restore a farmall 200. I am a lucky guy! Thanks in advance
