Could be a fuel issue... could be a spark issue. Use an inline xenon bulb spark checker to narrow down the true source of the issue...

I dont think the carburetor is the problem. It starts to easily and repetedly. The flow from the pump is the first thing im planning to check.
-
IMHO.... Always do regular maintenance before troubleshooting. If you cycle the fuel pump off and on three or four without starting the engine, that should fill the fuel bowl for sure. Will it stay running then? Have you removed the inlet hose from the carburetor to verify that you are getting good fuel flow? What is the age of the fuel filter? When was the last time the carburetor was rebuilt? All fuel lines replaced?

A few weeks ago my C-160 started then quit. Starts quickly maybe 4 seconds later quits. Afer a couple of those efforts ran fine. Today the same thing happened! I was thinking that the electric pump got tired but if you let it sit for a couple of minutes it will run for 4 or 5 seconds. If I restart immediately it only runs for 2 or 3 seconds so now im leaning towards the filter. Before i start troubleshooting i thought i would ask if anyone has other thoughts.

Being towed by a Kohler powered

The difference between a 7HP Kohler & a 7 HP Tecumseh...... You torque the mounting fasteners on the Kohler. You use wingnuts on the Tecky - hand tight - makes it easier to replace later.

The word on the street is that Clyde Barrow was so impressed withe the Ford sedan and its then new flathead V8 that he wrote a letter to Henry Ford personally praising it.... Letter from Clyde Barrow to Henry Ford Praising the Ford V-8 Car, 1934 Too bad we cannot do the same with Cecil & Elmer anymore...

We had a 604. Dad bought it brand new. This picture is around 1970. You can see it already got at least 1 replacement engine!

Hello all, I will be traveling through northern Illinois/Indiana while on my way to Michigan the weekend of August 29th. I would LOVE to find a Wheel Horse pedal tractor for my granddaughter. 🩷 I have CA$H but I also have a lot of Wheel Horse items I could trade like cast wheel weights, NOS 42" plow other implements and parts...Whatever you prefer cash or trade. I REALLY hope to find one. Thanks in advance Tyson

The Bonnie & Clyde Ford Sedan was traveling with a car show in the late 60's or early 70's. I saw it when it visited the Lansing Civic Center.

I will second the electric fuel pump, let pump run for a second or two hit the starter and almost an instant start. The mechanical pump I replaced would squirt fuel across shop but must have lost its prime after setting any length of time because you would have to crank for ever to get her to fire. I know a lot of guys have used primer bulbs like you would use on boats but figured it wasnt to much more trouble to install Epump and not much cheaper if you get a good quality primer bulb. pic of where I mounted mine.

Tractor is actually a crappy cheap paint job. Considered & bought a citrus based paint stripper but just havent gotten around to it. Hard to tell whats hiding under paint. Even the engine is painted with same wrong color. The plow is from a 604 & I keep it oiled .
-
I took two wires out of the 9 pin when I got my 520-H. The power wire and the start wire soldered each together. I also replaced all the safety switches as they were all rusted. My 520 had set in a car port or open sided shed as the right side wheels had some surface rust and none on the left. I bought some new connectors but haven't installed them. The two PTO safety switches were badly rusted they also have isolation plates below them that were coated in rust. After getting all that sorted out the biggest improvement I made was an electric fuel pump.

@ML3 looks patina perfect to me , thats what you want to RETAIN , not show room fresh , even plow blade , dare I say has that oiled look to it ? just right , pete

1054 Hydraulic Cylinder Not Functioning
1054 Project replied to 1054 Project's topic in Implements and Attachments
I'll be out of town next week but will troubleshoot the relief valve when I return. -
Good sleuthing! A depleted battery can completely consume the stator's output without charging and at the same time leave insufficient “juice” (i.e. the 2-4 amps) needed to keep the electric PTO clutch fully engaged.

1054 Hydraulic Cylinder Not Functioning
1054 Project replied to 1054 Project's topic in Implements and Attachments
I'm probably over my depth here but something is allowing fluid to be forcefully expelled from the pump with the cylinder removed and the control in neutral. -

Mine still runs. It is my primary mower & snow removal tractor.
