Getting started

[Vinny]

I need yall's help getting my mule running. It's been down for 30 years and in the family for 40 or so. It's a November 57 produced four cylinder. I am having trouble getting spark to stay constant. My Magneto it working great, carb and fuel system seem fine. Yall know any little quirks I don't?

Are you getting fire at the end of the plug wires?

 

[acetomatoco]

I would suggest that after 40 years, that the MAG be serviced at a good farm tractor shop.

Call Bill Watson and put on new plugs, wires, and rebuild Mag.

 

[monighan]

the coil is probably breaking down when it warms up .or maybe just clean points.rebuild mag or get a new one.

Ditto on the mag, also be careful on running a mule motor after it has been sitting that long or you will destroy the jugs. I think it is recomended to remove them and make sure there is no flaking.
