1952 8N. Just changed all fluids, full tune-up. Started better
than ever. Then did 12 volt conversion, started better yet.
Then pulled manifold to replace valve cover gaskets. Installed
manifold with new gaskets, no sealant. Installed new exhaust
pipe/muffler.
It was a little slower to fire. Put Dearborn loader back on,
ran for about an hour. Started this morning, again a little slow
to fire. Killed it, then when restarting it may have backfired
once. Now starter only spins. access to starter through loader
frame is not friendly, moving non-running tractor to remove
loader is less so. Hoping for starter issue, much easier to
remedy than ring gear.
Ideas if starter or worse? could slow to fire be intake Mani
leak? What goo to use on Mani gaskets? Thanks.
