Good morning everyone.
To start, 1946ish 2N/9N.
Over the past few weeks I have replaced a few parts on ye'ol tractor. (12V conversion, manifold, water pump, radiator) I finally got enough time in my schedule to finish putting everything back together over the weekend and now I have an issue.
I've got spark (verified with spark gap tester), I have fuel to the carb (verified by loosening the bottom bowl bolt to allow fuel to flow out of the carb.) The problem is that I can't get the blasted thing to start! When I started this project the tractor ran fine. Everything thing I did was more of a routine maintenance and 'make my life easier' type of improvements.
My typical procedure for starting the tractor is to choke the tractor all the way until it just starts to kick over, then go to half choke and it typically starts right up. I tried this and nothing..... it smelled like it was flooded. I pulled off the air intake line from the carb and gas poured out of the carb. I'll be honest I've never messed with the carb before and I'm not sure if this is normal or not but there is fuel leaking out of the air inlet to the carb when I try to start the tractor. I'm wondering if I didn't knock something loose while I was replacing the manifold.
Does anyone have any thoughts about this? I'll be honest working on the carb makes me nervous as typically carbs are not my forte.
Any help here would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
