Hey all, its been a long time since i have posted anything thing on here. My last posts I would have to look to see where I was at! Anyway Im back to square one with my pony motor. Previously my issues were that it would run on one cylinder at a time, but not at the same time with both plug wires connected?? Finally the mag failed and I had no spark. So i replaced the condenser no help, cap no help, the points and then all was good!!!! Along with rebuilding the carb before hand.
Fast fwd to now with one successful season of starting and driving the dozer and tweaking and greasing etc. only burning approximately 15 gallons of diesel over the summer the same problem returned
Any input I'll gladly take. What I have done and checked below.
1) good blue spark at both plugs ckd gaps
2) cleaned carb no help
3) put gas in both cylinders no difference
4) swapping plug wire no help
5) cleaned mag cap noticed some carbon erosion at one of the carbon pickup. Cleaned and coated with silicone just to see if any difference, none.
6) cleaned points,looks geat. No help.
Spent six hours and got nowhere covered it up and will get back to it in the spring due to winter coming.
The coil is original along with the rotor disk. The only thing I didn't check was timing which not sure would be off since i never messed with it. Again any advice greatly appreciated. I think whats frustrating is there is not much to it. Two cylinders with a carb and mag.
