Hello, I have a 49 Farmall M that has been hard to start recently and was looking for some guidance. It has the H4 Magneto. I just replaced the battery (6v) and upgraded the 3 battery and starter cable to 4/0. Cranks great, and pops off every once and awhile, but don?t know if I am having a fuel or spark issue.
1. The carburetor just pours fuel out when cranking. When it is running or just sitting, it does not leak.
2. I tried adjusting the points to .013? but it would not even try to start. Adjusted the points back to almost touching and it started after a few pops.
I have new points and condenser arriving soon so will see if that helps. Looking to see if anyone has any suggestions before I spend the money to completely rebuild both the carb and magneto.
Thank you!
