Ford 9n runs for 5 min than quits

Tractor will run for about 5mins then its acts like it is starving for fuel and quits. The carb has never been rebuilt and I have replaced everything gas tank, fuel line , regulator. - Any Ideas.

make sure your gas cap can "breathe" run it loose or as soon as tractor quits open tank and see if it has vacuum sound ???

First off how is the spark. 5 minutes could be a couple of things like bad ignition switch or condenser or lack of fuel. Check your spark first then if it is a good blue/white spark that will jump a 1/4 inch gap move to fuel. Pull the drain plug from the bottom of the carb and make sure you have a good steady flow of gas for 5 minutes catch the gas so as to make sure its not full of water or dirt

I sounds like a fuel problem. It's running until the bowl in the carb is empty and it can't refill fast enough.

Take your glass bowl off under your tank then turn the valve on and make sure gas pours out both holes. It will run good if it's not clogged.

I don't think you have any thing major wrong with your tractor. Just needs a little maintenance.

Replace the condenser with a known good one. Your problem sounds just like my MM 335 of a year ago.
