I tried it with the battery, jumping the battery with a boost pack, and powering it right through the starter, to eliminate the key and everything downline. Still no luck. I will check the valve clearance, but the tractor ran fine last year. The valves shouldn't gain excessive clearance by just sitting for a year. Thanks for the replies. Anyone have any other ideas?
