   Have you tried removing the hose to the air filter and giving it a shot of starting fluid? If the gas is old or if it's had gas with ethanol in it, your carburetor could be dirty and some of the narrow passages could be plugged.

	Haynes! I can almost feel your pain! Good luck and I hope a fellow Allis guy can help you trouble shoot the starting issues! Family tractors are the best! If I was close I would stop in even though I am not a mag guy! Regards, Chris

	I am looking for anybody close to Chattanooga, TN with experience in the WD model? PLEASE message me! I am restoring my Great Great Grandfathers WD. It has been fully restored, but I can't get it started for the life of me. It has spark. Gas. Gas too Carb.. It IS in timing. The mag spark cables are in proper order, etc... I have tried it with the kill switch on, off and the wire not even plugged up to the magneto. I am absolutely clueless at this point. It sure looks pretty but would LOVE to have it running again. Any help would be great! Obviously if somebody with knowledge living close, would be awesome to swing over one day and take a look! :)
