Ford 4000 spits and sputters and stops

Meyer712 · Jul 16, 2016

After I start my fine Ford, she gets warmed up and shortly there after the engine spits sputters and stops. I can go a little distance, a few feet if I restart and use the choke. There is gas in the
engine and I have no idea what is causing this. Any ideas? Good battery good starting power just quits after she warms up, and that don't take long. Help!!!

You should mention whether you have a 3 or 4 cylinder 4000.
Always, always check your spark first.
Verify that you have a bright bluish white spark that wull jump at least 1/4". As soon as it sputters or quits get out of the seat, pull a plug wire and check. Requires no tools.
Short or yellowish spark will not do.
If you have good spark then go on to fuel.

Gas in the engine as in gas in the oil?? If yes do not run it any till you have changed the oil or you can spin a rod bearing. Does it have a fuel pump?? If yes the pump could be going bad and in that case could be dumping gas into the engine plus not supplying enough gas for it to run.
