We are having issues with a 64 ford 4000 I will try to be as complete as I can
My dad has a 1964 ford 4000 gas 4 cyl and as he was bush hogging with it it just died on him he said it was like some one shut the key off the and would not start back up
After playing with it a lot this is what we did
We replaced the oem carb with a bran new zenith carb and replaced the distributitor all new assembled gap was set to .025
plugs wires and new 6 volt coil still 6 volt system
We timed it by the book and would not start strong spark getting fuel Ext
Now if we advance it a lot not sure degree it will start up and run and you can fine tune it by moveing distributor adv or retard and get it to run smooth as silk
But her lays the issue its ideling 700-900 rpm and carb won't bring it down to 450 if I rememeb correctly
I assume it's because it's so advanced
Now my question is
Why does it have to be advanced so far to start if timed to spec by book and why does carb adj have no effect
Please help
I will try my best to answer any and all questions
