    Starter question

    [b:c7e575ed56]Thank you for the replies, when I meant the starter went out is that will not spin over, I can pull start the tractor but will not turn over via the starter. I put the jumper box on it and it has a short in it as it started to melt the battery post. I noted a little while back...

    Starter question

    [b:1a2b876598]I have a TO30 that has been converted to 12 volts, it has a 6 volt starter, it went out yesterday. Should I update it with a 12 volt or stay with the 6 volt, pros, cons [/b:1a2b876598]

    ignition coil

    [b:9df496c419]Okay all here is a update, I finally got my TO-30 running like a sewing machine again. If you follow my post you will note I did all as prescribed and also more than I needed to on my own diagnostics. One item that i kept reoccurring on these post was the points, now mind you i had...

    ignition coil

    [b:de2238c8e1] I did the tune up and it ran like a sewing machine for a week. I then replaced the resistor after the tune up. I have also rebuilt the carburetor and even put a new one in still no change. I also checked my intake as the way suggested no difference. This is just a thought could...

    ignition coil

    [b:7f7733fd9a] I did this and no change. I do have a question about the ignition resistor, once it is connected should it drop 12 volts to 6 volts? I am thinking it is used to lengthen the life of the points. How do you test one to see if it is doing what it is suppose to? Also does anyone have...

    ignition coil

    [b:b74ceb4922]Okay I believe the TO-30 has won. i have tried every check, replaced all of the ignition items, check timing, rebuilt carb and to no avail. The tractor starts sputters and will not stay running, accelerates and sptters more. Plenty of fuel, replace the gas still runs horrible. I...

    ignition coil

    [b:a6ae0ffe41]The tractor will start and run just sputter real bad and idle very rough and not accelerate any. Also on the exhaust their is a small leak that comes out of the manifold and very dark soot, like it is too rich but the spark plugs are tan I know years ago my dad's tuck had a...

    ignition coil

    [b:2cb9a725fc]Yes the spark test passed. Talked a a few others and they stated check for a crack on the rotor cap. I have not seen a obvious crack is there any "smoking gun" that you can see or perhaps not?[/b:2cb9a725fc]

    ignition coil

    [b:3694daeed6]I am going to take the carb off again and see if any trash got in it, but will investigate the main jet to ensure all is clean. One item I have noticed is that when I turn the idle mixture screw nothing changes, also I have a exhaust leak and I can see heavy soot around the leak...

    ignition coil

    [b:7426c775a8]With the tractor running, I have no fuel flow when I drain it, let it sit for a minute with it off plenty. I can shut off the petcock disconnect the supply line and plenty of fuel going to the carb. I have cleaned the mesh filter at the fitting. I have connected my dwell meter and...

    ignition coil

    [b:6e590356e1]Thank you all for the help, but right now I do not know where to go from here. I have replaced the points, rotor, condensor, plugs, wires , coil, cleaned the carburetor 3x (no dirt found at any time) replace the fuel filter and still sputters where I cannot even drive it. This is...

    ignition coil

    [b:9141348e35]Thank you both, I have a ignition resistor already in line, should I remove it? I have the 12 volt conversion via alternator. I hope I do not sound confusing just a liitle weak with the 6 volt 12 volt ignition.[/b:9141348e35]

    ignition coil

    [b:dfb7ae725a]I have a TO-30, which just did much work to it. It was running fine and I went to bush hog and it started to stutter and run horrible. I have put new points in, carb is new, new plugs. rotor button. I checked my coil which is 12 volt and it is registering from 1.3-1.8, so I am...
