// I am a bit perplexed about the following on Farmall BN with 123 engine.
//( Still chassing down a run and stall out won't re start situation I mentioned over a couple of months ago. Had it stall twice during the winter and had to let sit for a couple of hours before it would restart. )
//Went out Monday to move it, wouldn't start. Checked for fuel, ended up looking in tank,!! O' My! Removed tank , cleaned out corrosion flakes and also removed carb, cleaned installed new gasket.
Still no start.
//Checked disputer points 'nearly closed'.
Rest to 20 tho; Instant start. Small amount of point lub on stirker arm.
?????? QUESTION are any of you finding that the fiber striker point is wearing out excessively fast: or may I be doing somthing in correct. (The lob cam is clean and polished.) No slop in the shaft.
///This is the second set of points in just over a year (put the first in in 2017 and only test ran engine while finishing up reassembly that year.
////Ran first part of 2018 then replaced with second set, points since fiber striker had worn out on first set.
!!!! NOT MAKING ANY SENCE TO ME. (Had 4 & 6 cylinder cars that ran longer on points than this is.)
Thank you for any and all information and assistance you offer.
