Fixing the John Deere 317
Working on solving the poor running condition of the new to me 317 that has been repowered with a B43G Onan engine.

Yep, either the float adjustment height, or a bad needle &/or seat... (try throwing the old float in a small pan of gasoline...)
What size tires are in this I would love to put bigger tires and rims on my 318
onan engine spoted !! i have 1 but unknow exact model and i made it work
I personally love the 317 and prefer the kt17 over the b43g but I've never actually seen this conversion in person. If I had to guess I think the carburetor just needs to be cleaned out and adjusted and or you have bad gas. It could also need a valve adjustment but I think it is fuel related. Just out of curiosity, do you ever plan to bring an original 317 into the shop? I'd love to see you fix one up.
How to hook up coil
The coil and condenser are almost always OK.
No Dielectric Grease...???

Sounds like you have a charging problem. Either your voltage regulator is not doing it’s job or your stator is kaput would be my guess the pto clutch on the old Deere’s is an electric clutch so the whole time you’re mowing it’s drawing power from your battery that isn’t being replenished by the charging system

Your ignition switch might be a little gummy & leaking voltage.
cylinders got washed, I would do an oil change, I bet the oil smells like gas.

Yep :D
It sounds like you just need to adjust your carburetor.
So much gas sitting in the carburetor... Don't take the advice of an idiot, but I am curious about the possible presence of gas in the crankcase with the oil.

Absolutely there was tons of gas int he crankcase which creates a genuine concern that there was a good bit a wear to engine internals that occurred when it was running like that.
