I just purchased a used 1300D and am very new to tractors so any advice would be much appreciated. The tractor seems to run strong. The problem is that it is very hard to start without giving it a shot of something like ether. I try to start by cranking for a few seconds with decompression lever pulled and then let it go but it won't start by itself. It starts right away with a small shot of something volatile. Am I doing something wrong? Can compression be bad? Fuel may be old - not sure - should I replace fuel. How do you test compression? Any help appreciated.
Thanks
