So I finally got my grandfathers tractor started today...took some doing it hadn't run in 15-20 year and was completely buried in two separate floods but once it got going the only thing that stopped it was running out of gas.....literally the brakes don't work for manure.
Gotta say a big thanks to Bruce your 75 tips were a big help, and the biggest headache I had was my points staying energized even when they were open....read one of your comments on here about how the bolt on the dist grounds out...pulled the bolt out and connected the coil directly to the points....prob solved. So again thanks.
Only problem I seem to have is that the float in the carb isn't working right. If I just shut down the tractor the gas floods the carb and I have to drain the carb to get it to start....right now I just use the fuel cut off to run it out of gas.
