SOURCE: Massey Ferg 24 won't start. Spark to plugs, firing

Lots to check for small engine. First, have Starter draw checked for spinning Voltage draw. May be turning below what is needed to get engine going. Check compression specs. 60 sounds better than 30, most engines should not be more than 10% different in cylinder to cylinder compression. Spray small amount of 30W oil in each cylinder to determine if compression changes. Rings at fault if it does help, valves at fault if it does not.

Did it fire with ether? Should have run for a couple of seconds with ether. The valve timing is important and you need to adjust the valves to insure best compression. Even if you have Specs to adjust a warm engine, you need to be close on a cold engine. Don't remember if Fergusons had optional adjustable lifters like Fords.

Bad coil? They can be bench checked. Check also with hot wire to coil disconnected if your switch is letting power go to coil in RUN position.
Check your Cam timing and distributor as well as the capacitor inside the Distributor. Firing order?

2009 honda rancher 420 Starts and idles but when you throttle it dies

This sounds like a basic Main Jet clog. I suppose it could also be a semi-clogged fuel filter, but the Main jet is more likely. This is assuming that the engine is not fuel injected. As I do not know the type of carb I cannot give you any of the easy cheats to try for a quick check, but for older carbs with a slide you can pull the slide out and use compressed air to shoot some air down the main jet hole at the bottom. Otherwize, the "Best" way is to disassemble and clean. This is a "Guess" at best, however I have seen this very problem several times on multiple carbs. Good Luck.

I have a honda rincon that will not run unless I hold the starter button in and I need to know if you can tell me what the problem is ?

STOP holding the starter button down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.. Its NOT really running..
My first guess is the starter needs some TLC..a professional rebuild..they are not hard to do.
Diagnosing electrical issues over the internet is hard... I will think on this some more and repost if I come up with anything..sorry..

My Honda rancher 420 is idling bad. it will crank and idle good for a few seconds then it starts revving up and back down. then when I put it in gear it takes off without giving it any throttle.

Hey Bj,
Sounds like the throttle position sensor is going bad, take it to a professional and let them trouble shoot it.. it WILL be cheaper in the long run!!

My 2006 Honda rancher 350 just quit running while I was driving it. will still turn over but wont start why?

Take fuel cap off to make sure it is getting air to fuel tank. Check fuel valve to make sure it is on. Drain carb with screw on bottom of carb to check for water. Pull spark plug to make sure it is firing.
