Thank you as always for the useful replies.
I have checked the exhaust port which seems fine and I also ran it for a minute with no exhaust – still the problem persists.
I took off the carb and the main jet did indeed look blocked – cleaned it out and I could see light through it and thought that would solve it, but still no change.

Yes, I was going to ask about the govenor, as I read about this and noticed it when setting the points. Will try it under load (I have a big patch of stingers and brambles to try it on) and let you know if there is any change under load.

Thanks, Ben.

I was interested in the opinion of somebody who worked on Kubota engines and there specific characteristics.

[vhgmcbuddy]

Strange, I read that Coil resistance is: primary approx 0.6Ohms, secondary approximately 12.6kOhms, the Kubota-manual states.
But as there’s no spark when testing the spark plug “outside” the engine; it has to be the ignition coil- no more testing required.
Thank you

I measured the ignition coil.
Coils resistance primary is 0.13 and secundary is 9.73
Multimeter on 20k
I don’t know how to measure the clearance from the rotor to ignition core because the coil is located at the inside of the flywheel.
Is that ok?
Thank you

Hi Charlie
My wife is up the allotment today and will get me the number. The previous owner had scratched the paint off the serial No so it should be easy to date now you have given me the link.
thanks again.

There’s no safety system on this machine, only the on/off switch witch I tested.

[vhgmcbuddy]

The carb assy arrived and the leaking is over, but
still very difficult to start the engine. If I take the spark plug out and hold it against the engine while trying to start there’s no spark.
However after many times starting it starts and the engine runs fine. Once I stop the engine it’s very difficult to start it again; sometimes it starts immediately sometimes not at all.
So I opened the ignition-part and that was very dirty and rusted. I cleaned everything but still the same result.
Is it possible to test the ignition coil?
Is it possible that a bad ignition coil works sometimes and sometimes it doesn’t.
Thank you for your reply.

Many thanks for the advice. i have attached a couple of photos and would be grateful of any other info to date my Howard and any pointers in keeping it running. I have only used it on a small patch of the allotment as 95% of the plots are planted, but i am looking forward to give it a proper workout later in the year.

i will investigate Burlen.

Thanks again for your help
