pylp 6 #26 Posted June 6 Did a multimeter test on + of coil it's at 12.01 or 12.11 on run grounded to block 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lane Ranger 11,213 #27 Posted June 6 I had a small leak form in my 701 tractor with a Carter N carb. I had to coat it with JB Weld on both sides even though I could not see light thru the hole! I would make sure your coil is good if you are now having starting issues. Electrical system checking sounds like what you need to do next! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pylp 6 #28 Posted June 6 Did a coil check it held 12 volts with the key in run position Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pylp 6 #29 Posted June 6 Maybe I will break down my carb one more time clean and triple check and throw it in the ultrasonic what would be the optimal cleaning kerosene diesel? Last time I used just fresh gas and let it cycle through the cleaner a bunch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Last time I used just fresh gas and let it cycle through the cleaner a bunch As someone who had an ultrasonic short out and ground to the housing in spectacular fashion...id advise against using anything flammable. I use a 30Liter model, 1 gallon Simple Green; 1 gallon purple power, 1qt MasterStages 2020, 60⁰C for 45 minutes cleans most everything, 80⁰C for 90 minutes removes most rust and lifts paint.

Handy Don 13,653 #32 Posted June 7 4 hours ago, pylp said: I'm stumped I'm getting spark im getting gas it's turning i have good compression Spark you have. You can simply stop fretting about electrical connections for now. Gas is getting TO the carb (and leaking), but you DON’T know that gas in the proper amount is being drawn into the engine. The carb is where you have to concentrate. Is the fuel leaking around the joint between the bowl and the body? If yes, the rubber seal is compromised or not correctly installed. Is the fuel leaking out through the air cleaner? Then the float valve isn’t closing off the fuel flow. If you are determined to throw money at the problem, buy another 3-year carb but when you install it make sure to use NEW fuel line and a NEW fuel filter. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pylp 6 #33 Posted Wednesday at 04:57 PM Well I did just installed the new carb and new fuel lines. Still not start. lost Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 18,547 #34 Posted Wednesday at 05:27 PM If you spray some carb cleaner or gas into the carb then try to start it it should fire and run for a few seconds...does it??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pylp 6 #35 Posted Wednesday at 05:35 PM (edited) No just turns and turns maybe back fires one or twice sometimes but no just turns i can upload a video if you want https://files.fm/u/fw7abnqzr5 that's the link to the video Edited Wednesday at 06:17 PM by pylp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pylp 6 #36 Posted Wednesday at 06:31 PM Just a question never tested the ignition coil ? I'm getting spark tho no doubt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 18,547 #37 Posted Wednesday at 06:49 PM If you were getting spark (and at the right time) she would run for few seconds after you sprayed carb cleaner/gas into the carb. After extended cranking pull the spark plug...is it wet??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RED-Z06 2,558 #39 Posted Wednesday at 06:52 PM Have we had the head off at this point? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pylp 6 #40 Posted Wednesday at 06:57 PM (edited) No never pull the whole head or just the top to see valves ? What would that tell me and could it be the ignition coil or no because I always get spark Edited Wednesday at 06:57 PM by pylp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 18,547 #41 Posted Wednesday at 06:59 PM Hold your hand over the carb while you crank do you feel significant suction?? Something is amiss. Spraying gas into her and cranking she should fire Not trying to run means no spark,wrong timing or inadequate compression (stuck Valve) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What would that tell me and could it be the ignition coil or no because I always get spark If you have spark, and fuel, and compression you should get something out of it. Pull the plug, put your finger on the plug hole...crank it, you should feel it suck then pop your finger off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pylp 6 #43 Posted Wednesday at 07:17 PM Yes I do feel suction on the front of carb but it's so hard to tell if I feel any on the spark plug hole I just covered it with my thumb I wanna say no suction on spark hole but definitely on front of carb I will try spark plug hole a few more times see if it feel anything Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pylp 6 #46 Posted Wednesday at 07:41 PM Well pulled the head and this is what I got a bent valve and a screw on the top of the piston Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pylp 6 #47 Posted Wednesday at 07:41 PM This is at TDC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RED-Z06 2,558 #48 Posted Wednesday at 07:43 PM Just now, pylp said: This is at TDC Bingo. Piston looks okay but that valves seen better days. Possibly an air filter housing screw, or a butterfly screw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pylp 6 #49 Posted Wednesday at 07:44 PM Lmao ok so what's next could I fix the bent valve I wish Ive done that sooner Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Will need to check the valve guides. Intake valve looks pretty crusty. I suppose you could clean it but I would get a new one for that also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
