Hi guys,
I acquired a 1944 JD A about 1/2 year ago and it has never ran properly since then, i took off the carb and cleaned it out but that didnt help. So now i have moved on to working on the magneto but know nothing about them.....right now it has a "Super Chief" model "SP" on it and it keeps on backfiring through the carb no matter what adjustments we make to it or the carb. I also have a WIKO model X that i havent tried yet but i dont think it even fits, it just came with the tractor when i bought it. So if you could give me any tips or anything it would be of great use cause i cant wait to drive this beauty. Thanks..... ...Jared

Had a JD 60 with same problem. The camshaft bearings were bad. Also check to see that the heat exchanger is set either on hot or cold but not in the middle.

Does this tractor actually run, or are you just trying to start it? Give more information if you can.

Backfires through the carb, could be a sticky intake valve. Bob from Triple G Service.

Jared, sounds like your A isn't timed properly if you're getting backfire through the carburetor. Check you timing before you go further into the engine/ignition system.

Did you switch the plug wires?
