Thanks
Clint I went back out yesterday after reading your thread, retimed unit using the T mark on flywheel, set ponits at .020 static. the unit cranked better and eventually fired up!!!! I then put a timing light on it and found the S mark at the upper edge of the hole barely visible. Every time I tried adjusting it down it would die. I decided to see if it would mow and how power was. I had never mowed this tractor was given to me and although I had it running it would drive but no power to engage blades. I'm very impressed with the power this little tank has....I purposely loaded it down cutting uphill a couple times and it just crawled up without noticable drop in RPM. So the timing is barely visible in the upper edge of the hole when running...seems to like it there. I mowed about 45 minutes. I waited about a half hour to cool down and it was slow cranking when I went out. I put the jump start battery on it and it fired right up. So at this point I am going to try a higher cranking amperage battery and larger cables. The cables do get warm when cranking longer periods. It seems to fire right up with the jump pack telling me I need CCA. Thanks to all who contributed to this thread!
