Clean the bowl & blow the air thru the carb line and bowl if sitting. Makde sure you have fuel flowing thru the fuel lines to the carb bowl. Either water or the points get stuck. With us we had intermitten spark problems and it turned out to be the magneto shaft not centred & the condenser which although we gor spark we only just got it.

When does a magneto ignition start a tractor?
We mentioned an audible click that should occur when the engine comes to the top of any compression stroke. This is the impulse coupler and is what allows a tractor to start at cranking speed. It fires an extra hot spark. If you do not hear that click, your magneto may have a broken impulse coupler.
What should I do if my Magneto goes off on my Tractor?
Make sure the magneto is grounded (turned off or a “crowbar” safety wire hooked up between the ground lug and a good ground on the tractor) or you might just break your arm or worse. In this state the tractor can backfire and run pretty ragged. If you are using a hand-crank, it can furiously spin backward and kill or seriously injure you.
What do I need to change my pony motor to electric?
Stop throwing good money away trying to keep it running. Update your machine to direct electric start with one of our bolt-on conversion kits. We also offer bolt-on alternators to replace either belt-driven or gear-driven generators.
