Hello, wondering if anyone here could chime in with some ideas. I have a 9n that I can't make run for the life of me. It ran pretty good then just kind of died. I have gotten it to start a few times but it won't run for long but it sounds ok when it does. I think about the only thing I have not done is a compression test, but I'm not thinking that is it.
I installed a new distributor with a 12 volt coil and a new carb. I have verified fuel flow into and out of the carb. Verified spark also. Engine cranks and cranks but will not go. Won't even fire on starting fluid. I can't flood it, I tried cranking it for forever with the ignition switch off and the plugs still come out dry. If I hold my hand over the air inlet on the carb while cranking and fuel pours back out of the air inlet when I stop cranking.
I'm a bit clueless here, Wondering if maybe the intake/exhause manifold cracked or something and it's drawing exhaust back in the intake side?
Any suggestions would be super appreciated!
Thanks,
Cliff
