I spent over three hours today messing with the 300. I put the correct coil on it and have verified that I do have a blue spark which will jump a 1/4" gap on a spark plug. I took the carb apart again and checked the passages, the new carb top is cleaner than the old one from what I can see but I still cannot get it to fire. There are four holes on the hinge pin side of the venturi that I do not feel like I am getting completely clean, maybe, but I do not know where they go. I do have gas in the carb bowl, and I do have suction when I put my hand over the inlet. I got it to pop once by putting about a tablespoon of gas in one cylinder. The starter is turning the engine over at what I would call a normal speed and the battery is making good spark at the same time. I have plugged in the coolant heater for the night and tomorrow I will try again to figure it out. I do not have a compression tester, so I guess that could be the problem. I also have not checked the valves since I set them after putting the engine back together in the summer. It was running great when I was doing a small logging job for a week or so before Thanksgiving, but these last few weeks it has not been happy, and when the tractor ain't happy ain't nobody happy, as the saying goes.

Uncle Cecil was the second owner of this wonderful little tractor, but it was almost as though he had adopted an infant. The original owner was a man from Minnesota who bought her from a local dea
