Jd 400 missing parts?
Should a 1975 jd 400 have a primer and if so who has one?

It was a dealer option/kit, but I've barely ever seen them installed.

Did you have spark on both?

Re: Jd 400 missing parts?
I have seen the sled. I have both bought from and sold to JDcornflakes. The NOS hood you got with the sled Dave got from me.
Was there spark on both cylinders?
check and recheck all the connections and grounds.
It would be a good idea to replace the crank seals in the motor.
Wish you were a little closer. It would be fun to help you with this project.

Re: Jd 400 missing parts?
Well your half way there.
At least when you have spark on one side you can switch parts to see what part the problem follows.
do you have a shop manual?
if you don't you can download one for free.
