That question worries me a little bit. What specific questions do you have and what is the publication number of the shop manual that you have? Also what verion of the GO-130 do you have. They are not all alike. Questions?

ok the problem i'm having is with the timeing,,,, i'm getting  backfires out of the carb,,,,, and no matter where i place the timeing i can't get it to fire and run....
 as for the publication # i think it's s1-5-21
it's an 80 page  manual just to cover the basics on the tractor
and most of the engine section is for diesel
 and the go 130,,,,,,  got me......
all i know is it's an early one or so i've been told. but knowing what kind of go 130 it is... i don't know where to look to find out...
the id plate just lists it as a go 130......... sn#3750101
hope this helps anyone out there,,,,

 or if anyone has any other ideas where to look for what kind.....i'm all ears.
 thanks

O. K. here is a good place to start. Take the valve cover off. Take the plugs out and turn the engine over untill both valves on number one cylinder are on valve overlap (both rocking). Make a mark on the crank pulley. Turn it one full turn untill the mark lines up again. It will then be on number one TDC compression stroke. You may be off a few degrees, but close enough. Take the distributor and turn it untill the points just break and make a spark. Tighten the distributor enough it will not move. That should get you a starting point. It should run. Next question, do you have a vacuum gauge? If so it will be a good way to check to see if you have other problems. Questions? Send me an e-mail
