I have a 1952 8n ford converted to 12 volt electronic ignition system about 5 years ago. Side mounted distribitor. This tractor has always ran good and easy to start. One day I tried to start it and the starter would not turn over. I found that I had a bad connection from the negative wire to the frame. The starter is working but the tractor will almost start. I have replaced and gaped plugs,replaced wires,cleaned fuel filters and carburator,drained old gas,put in fresh gas,removed bolt at the bottom of carb,steady flow of fuel,all plugs are sparking and getting fuel, checked timing, replaced ignition switch,replaced distribitor cap and rotor button,compression is good, pulled side covers off,valves are not sticking although the valves did need adjusting and adjusted to proper clearence.Replaced ignition switch.Battery has been tested it is good. Switched out coil with another coil that I know is good. What am I missing or overlooking? I noticed someone had the same problem in 2011 on this forum but he did not write back if he found the problem or not.
