hi everyone I just got a vintage john deere 140-H3 with a 14 Hp k321 engine that I have to spray with starter fluid in order to get it to start and once she warms up it starts easy until it cools I installed a new spark plug air & gas filter and I'm waiting for the points and condenser to arrive.. would the points and condenser remedy my starting problem..????

I’m will to bet you need to clean and rebuild the carb, from the description you told us. I doubt the changing the points and condenser are going to solve your problem. Here’s a service manual which may be of some help.

^ what rivets said. points+ condenser is not causing your problem.
have you made sure the choke is operating correctly?

that's what I forgot to mention that I also took apart the carb and cleaned it over even doe it didn't need cleaning apparently somone had done it before..?? but thanks for the motor link...johnny

my mistake when I said choke was closing all the way...took a better look and it isn't

cool saw both thanks
