Hey y'all , been working on and off between planting on the 820 we just got in last week and I can say that I am once again stumped. Tractor was bought non running and had been sitting over a year.
Here is where we are at so far.
Drained gas tank and cleaned, replaced non working fuel shutoff. New fuel line fabricated. Re install and re fill with fresh gas. Re built marvel carburetor. Pre set both adjusting screws one full turn out. Cranked tractor over with carb off and we have very good manifold suction.
Marvel mystery oil added to each cylinder prior to any attempt of turning the engine over. Wonderful compression verified on each cylinder. New sparkies gaped and installed, auto lite 437's.
Number one cylinder brought to TDC of its compression stroke(number 1 closest to radiator), set advance timing marks on fly wheel in inspection hole to 26 degrees. Installed distributor to where new point set is just beginning to open per ford manual. Installed new spark plug wires with rotor on number one in firing order 1,2,4,3 from radiator 1 to drivers seat 4 and wires set on new cap in firing sequence above in clockwise rotation.
New battery, starter switch tested good, coil tested good... Verified good strong blue spark to each cylinder. Verified points are opening and closing via test light.
Once in a rare while it will put put put for mabye 2 seconds after cranking with choke on just gas. Absoutly no reaction to starting fluid sprayed in carb.
Air cleaner tube is disconnected from carb. Tractor was converted to 12 volt negative ground.
Any ideas anyone??
