Got back to working on my troublesome 2N again today. Put in new points and checked the timing on the distributor, checked okay. Still low compression on #2 cylinder, even after putting in ATF fluid and letting it soak for a couple of days. Turned the engine over to make sure no ATF was left in cylinder. Checked the spark, nice blue/white spark, jumped a 1/4" gap on test plug. Tried starting no go. Would not even start with a little shot of starting fluid. Placed hand over carb intake and there was suction. After cranking a few more times I had gas flow out of the carb intake. Can someone advise what the float setting should be? Pulled two of the plugs, #4 & #4 they were dry. It looks like gas may not be getting from the carb to the engine. I'm at a loss at this point. If I can't get it running soon I may just try to get rid of it. I might add that the tractor sat for about 6 or 7 months and was only started twice. I posted two or three issues while I have been trying to resolve this problem. Want to get a new exhaust/intake manifold as I've got an exhaust leak at #4 cylinder. Thanks in advance for any and all help. Also anyone know of a good 2N person in Arenac County, Mi. About 35 miles north of Bay City Mi.
[b:b161551af9]Problem seems to be with gas not getting into the cylinders. Fuel does get to carb. Plugs when pulled seem to be dry, no fuel present. Does not even fire with starting fluid. Can feel a vacuum if I hold my hand over the carb intake while cranking.[/b:b161551af9]
