f the plugs are wet with fuel, then it is flooded & will not start like that. Dry plugs with a propane torch, then try again without choke or without so much choke.

When you ask a question here, it’s always important to tell us:

1. The model of your tractor (2N, 9N, 8N, NAA, etc).

2. If it is 6v or 12v.

3. If it’s an N, if the distributor is on the front or side of the engine.

4. If it has any major parts that are not OEM, such as electronic ignition, an in-line fuel filter, a Zenith carb, an 8v battery, a side coil on a front distributor, etc.

Troubleshooting is different depending on the model of the tractor, voltage, ignition system & distributor placement & the absence of OEM parts.

All we know at this point is that you have an 8N w/ fouled plugs.

And, even if you told us that yesterday, remember that you’re dealing w/ a bunch of guys w/ CRS.
50 Tips

Pull the tube from the air cleaner to the carb off and try to start it that way. If it starts then it is time you service your air cleaned which most people neglect any how. A clogged up air cleaner will cause a flooded problem and keep one from running. Of course other things like a sticking float which can work fine one day and not the next could be your problem or dirt/rust in the float needle area holding it open so again you have a flooded engine problem

Cody,Do what Old said to do,remove air cleaner hose from the carb and try starting with the gas shut off at the tank.
