This tractor is giving me fits! When she first starts she sounds like a "one lunger" putt.....putt.....putt...putt...putt..putt.puttputtputt slowly increasing rpm's for about 10 seconds until up to full running speed. This is a list of things that have been done:
1.new fuel solenoid (no fuel blockage she will run forever never miss a beat once she's going)
2. new coil (stock from dealer)
3. new plugs (champion)
4. starter rebuilt ( she has plenty of spin )
5. new battery
6. last fall took to JD dealer to fix lack of power problem. they "set" the carb. and gave tractor "tune up" this problem was before that and continued after they worked on it.
7. pointless ignition
Coil is wired correctly, + to starter solenoid , - to distrb.
This condition makes it impossible to start in the winter (South Dakota) unless the tank heater is plugged in and a knipco is running under a tarp. She will barely start when the temps are in the low 40's.
Any ideas? Bad plug wires? Bad new coil?
I will mention that the previous owner put a GM type alternator with the internal regulator on it so the original wires from the voltage regulator are cut near the alt. and just sitting there.
