I've got an older B7200. It starts and runs just fine. In fact, It seems to be getting better with age. I wish that was the same for me ;-)
It has a compression release control that functions as it's designed to.
I've never been able to see a benefit in starting the tractor in cold weather using this feature.
If the battery is UP, the tractor starts on glow preheat. regardless of the temp (-10f)
If the battery is not UP, the tractor won't start even if the engine gets spinning rapidly by using the compression release.
I've never been let down when the battery is up. That tiny dynamo is an issue when short operation is needed in winter. A start sequence with glow and starter leaves the battery down somewhat.
I put the battery on a tender all winter so the tractor is ready to go any time. It would be nice not to need the stretch to the tractor shed all winter.
Am I missing something? What is your experience.
