Hi I have a Massy 10 that won’t start. It will sit there and run like a hit miss motor and sometimes catch on but it will only run for 30 seconds then die. I’ve bin thrown the carb and the ignition system any ideas on why it’s doing this

Thanks everyone
I have put a new plug in new gas clean the points and it still won’t catch on. It seems like it’s really rich. Sometimes when you idle it down it will catch for a minute and then die. Any one know a good place to get a carb kit?
Also it this the right plug?
Any one know how to link a video to this post?

Updates I have got the tractor to idl some of the time but when you try to rev it up it just start’s sputtering I have changed the condenser and tested it it’s good I have changed the spark plug it’s good the points are new and set right but it still won’t run
Is there any chance it’s fireing 180 of or is there something else in missing?

Took the condenser off and running tractor and after testing on the non running tractor(still no luck) put it back on and it still worked fine on the other tractor

the tractor was running fine the died just like you hit the key and it’s bine doing this ever since it will hardy run but just sit there and miss

I was thinking it was the coil to it has a coil on the fly wheel and a little plunger on The cam opens the points. I have checked the flywheel key and it’s fine too.
Thanks your help is much appreciated
