So As I was walking in the Back 40 where the Tractor might be destined to
live out its life... I decided to give it another whirl...
So as I'm sitting on the unit with the fan on the opposite end of the
engine
then me the plugs are labeled on the Chassis as follows:
2 1
4 3
So on the Cap I guessed that The connector where the Key on the Cap was
located was 1, its the closest to being the one on top.
from there on the Cap in clock wide I connected 1 -1, 2-2, 3-3, 4-4 So
on
the Cap I just went around in a circle from 1-4 and not 1,3,2,4 As it
looked
like you would not want to mix them twice, as I'm guessing you want the
plugs to fire at opposite sides at each interval.
So I had 3 and 4 Reversed according to the new wiring plan. (-;
Swapped them, Tried starting it a few times. Blew the Oil input tube off,
the dipstick went flying and I tried it a few more times...
It Started!!!! Sounded 'okay' I'd here a pop here and there from the Oil
input but it seems to have been running okay...
Ran it for about 5 Minutes and then turned it off. Then could not get it
stared again. )-; Then ran the Battery dead, so back on the charger...
I was so Hopeful!!!
