You will need to remove the band that wraps around the brake drum. If you cannot get the cover to come off, you will have to remove the band activation arm to slide the cover off. This will require a lot of penetrating oil. Most likely the band shaft has rusted tight into the transmission frame. You may need to remove the operator platform to access from the inside.

The point gap should be 0.013 inches. You should also check the end play and run out on the shaft before point installation (vertical & horizontal movement)- should be minimal or the engine will run erratic or not at all if too loose.

Try Goggle it. Just state what ask here.

It is called dieseling. Could be carbon on the plugs or in the combustion chamber. Carbon gets hot enough to cause fuel to keep igniting after ignition is turned off.

May need to check points setting.

Yes - I suspect your cam is 90 degrees out of time. This will have all the valve events happening at BDC rather than TDC - which equals zilch on the compression guage.

If the cam and crank are not marked, proceed from first principals - pick a cylinder. Position the piston at TDC on that cylinder. Rotate the cam until BOTH valves are off their seats. This is the overlap at the end of the exhaust stroke. The engine is now timed well enough to run - it cannot be more than 1 tooth out in either direction.

You will need to ensure that the ignition is timed also.

Are you sure its carb related? I would check compression when unit is cold, then check compression when unit is warmed up (right after unit dies), check for variance and compare to spec. Also, I would have a spark tester inline and visually check this as unit dies. Does unit loose spark before engine dies? This procedure should help you narrow down the problem to make sure its carb related or not. Good luck and happy wrenching!
