Hey everyone. I've been having trouble getting my 1950 model A to run. I've done all the work I thought I needed to do. When I got the tractor I rebuilt the governor and replaced the bearings, and same for the fan shaft. I put all new wirING ok it except for the starter cable. I also put a ditributor point system on it. I had the head and valves done, and the block bored over with new pistons. I noticed though when I was putting the piston rods on the crank that I had two number 2 piston rods. I figured there was no difference between the lengths or anything so I put them in. Be for I took the block out I had the tractor timed up, and the throttle rods to there correct lengths as they say in the book. I've even put two different rebuilt carbs on it. So now that everything is on there when I go to start it, it will usually fire right off, but after like 4-8 seconds later it will start to stall out and the throttle valve will pull on the governor and it will either backfire or stall out. If anyone has any idea of what it could be please let me know thanks.
