finally gets that I was joking of course! I did say it though, to spark a discussion on how could the ammeter possibly show "discharging" but not be wired backwards?!

Re: Back to the 444 that wouldn't start
But, 
wouldn’t that work. If it’s charging the engine, you could have more amperage for the coil, which would send more energy to the spark plug. So then,,,,, you could widen the gap on the spark plug to give better spark, which would result in a better kaboom. Which equals more hp. Right or right.
Your thoughts please.

With a fluxcore capacitor the 646bh will finished before I know it.

Re: Back to the 444 that wouldn't start
Two days ago this tractor again wouldn't start when I wanted to mow the grass on the outside of the fence. Something made me take the carburetor bowl off. Too bad I didn't take a picture. Lots of sediment. This tractor has one of those new import carbs. Cleaned it up and installed an inline fuel filter. Now it starts fine but I gotta make time to replace the ancient fuel line.

Glad your shaking the bugs out. It certainly can be a frustrating process.
