no power under load

Ron Krieg · Jun 22, 2013

I put a new exhaust manifold and carb on my tractor, cleaned the air breather set everything and running a finish mower it is hard to keep running. Cleaned sediment bowl and gets good fuel out the line. Put a new inline filter and screen in see not dirt. Runs great at idle no power under load. Where do I look? for help. It is a 1942 2N.

What about the governor? Have you done any adjusting on the carb since you changed the manifold? How did it run before? Mechanic work some times is a process of elimination. We really do not enough info to give you a good answer.

Check the distributor advance under the points plate. Could be stuck.

If the in line filter you installed is for automotive use it will not flow enough gas without a fuel pump to push the gas.

My experience in over fifty years with this stuff is that it is most likely something that I just worked on as opposed to something that I have not yet molested. It sounds very much like lack of fuel. You need not just a tablespoon but a full cup in about a minute in order to be sure that your supply is clear.

Check your ignition system also.

If that carburetor has a main jet adjustment screw as my Toro mower and Wards tractor has, you need to open it to enrich the fuel mixture. Hal
