A few weeks back my 9N was working without any problems, and following a couple hours of work, it suddenly stalled out. It sounded as though it ran out of fuel, so the next morning I filled it with fresh fuel and started it up, but it was running very rough and missing frequently. I let it idle for a little while and it was running rougher and rougher. So I did the following over the past couple weeks:
Drained the fuel and filled with fresh gas.
Pulled the Carb, cleaned it, reinstalled it.
Replaced the plugs, gapped and spark to each plug.
Pulled the distributor, gapped the points to spec, made sure it was timed correctly.
Following the above, I made an effort to fire it back up multiple times in-between each task.
I narrowed everything back to an assumed fuel problem with the old carb, so I replaced the carb with a brand new one (yes, fuel gets to the carb, as well as air).
After installing the new carb which took a week to arrive the tractor fired right up and ran very rough, and got rougher and rougher until it stalled out. At this exact moment it will not start.
After all the appropriate troubleshooting, I have another theory as to what it could be, but I would like to see if someone here suggests it.
