Changed the Divine Ms. M's oil this AM before feeding the cows. When I went to start the her, she turned HARD, got the starter a little warm, not hot. Did not want to start, then would kinda run on one cylinder.

So, I figgered new plugs, and took Red's many suggestions and got some AC C86 plugs. And she fired right up.

Fed the cows, and shut her down to eat lunch. She didn't want to start after lunch so I could grade the ruts out of the drive. Pulled the new plugs, and they looked like she flooded, dried 'em off and she started fine, tho still turned hard. Worked a while, then went in for coffee.

Tried to start her again so I could finish grading, and had to jump it with the Exploder! 6V battery wouldn't turn it fast enough to start. I almost think one of the cylinders is getting ready to stick. She makes a sound like an old hand pump that can't quite get primed when she cranks. So, I parked her, before pieces started flyin' off.

Any suggestions as to where I should start looking for the problem? She's always turned easy, and started quick before.

Assuming the worst, what engine kit should I look at? Are the Tisco step head pistons as good as the IH Firecrater? She's an ex-dual fuel, and does not have the high altitude head (I live in Colorado).

Pat, I think you're flooding and washing down the cylinder walls. I did this on a Case and had to put oil in plug holes to get it to turn over at all.

Pat, the M was okay before you changed the oil so nothing major has happened..starter could have calved on you or a cell in your battery is dead, I agree with CNKS..... your sure you didn' pour molasses into the crank thinking it was oil???just kidding, let us know how you make out..I have M #FBK9739..Mike in Exeter Ontario

Before you panic, take off the battery and charge it, clean the all the connections behind the starter switch, and make your cables aren't corroded. Take off the ground connection and scrape or wire brush. -- I often have the same problem with my M (mainly because of lack of use)and it's 12 volt-- always works when I do that. Did it yesterday. Others will correct me if I'm wrong, but I really don't think you have an engine problem. Your starter could need repair, though.

Well, yeah, duh!. I never do the easy stuff first!

Of course, maybe I'm unconsciously kinda lookin' for justification for a winter project! It's that suckin' sound that bothers me. That's new.
