May give up on the tractor before much longer.............out of ideas
But at least the evidence points to an ignition problem
But I do believe two problems started at once
The carb and now the ignition (just took some investigating)
Need to mow the grass bad
May have to barrow a hay bine before much longer

I would try swapping that coil first.
Going too!
Sure hope that does it ! Everything else seems to check out good ?
I bought the new mower just cause I got sick of working on them ! Stihl got one to fix.
If I could afford a new tractor I would get a new one byt I can't so..............

yeah, i know the feeling. we are going to have an acre lot...riding mower sure would be nice. but the price of a walk behind sure looks better.

You can usually get a used Craftsman for around $400-500 and well worth it. Ours is about 12 years old and just had to put $250 into it last year and running fine again. Puts down nice lines for a cheaper riding mower.

Got my berry patch fixed up. Moved some plants to the new rows. Got two 12' rows now. Foot and a half path down the middle,lots easier to pick now !
Going to pull out most of the old plants and put fresh ones in. They were kinda small this year,time for new !

Hope your coil fixes up that mower. It is going to be something simple....at least I think it will.

Adam you'll get it. You've got compression, you've got fuel, it can only be spark!
It seems lately I've had my own struggles with small engines.
1. Weedeater blower- bad fuel filter...deteriorating from the inside!
2. JD 55ev / Echo CS 500evl - crank seals on a 30 year old saw... lots of NLA there
3. Onan P220 on Welder - 4" piece of fuel line coming apart inside.
All of them were simple but whipped me for a bit. Sometimes you get over excited and miss something simple. It happens to all of us.
Good friend that mentored my dad and was a good friend to me also once said, "You play ball long enough, you'll eventually get the bat up your ass." :hmm3grin2orange:

Very true!
I can't complain about the stupid thing to much
Bought it last march it's 16 years old came with a 46" mower deck 45" two stage snowblower wheel weights and chains for $500
Still way further ahead to get it rollin again
I just refuse to pay someone else $50/hr to work on it
Hence why I started working on saws
