1st of all, Thank you everyone for your replies. A special Thank you to Mr. Bedell for the diagram. Matt, the tractor is a 149, the belt is a new Gates ribbed belt and all the grounds are clean and check good. Yosemite Sam, when turning over by hand, it is very hard to turn when coming up on compression. Merk, I must have missed that section when checking the service manual. I just rebuilt this engine this spring, due to it blowing the governor. I though at that time that one springs on the ACR was bent funny and did not realize that I could buy new springs. This engine has always been hard to start not like my 127 which starts easy. Again Thank all of you for the help. Any more suggestion/ideas will be greatly appreicated. Don B.
