Trying to help an elderly friend with
his JD,so he can sell it. I'm a Ford
and Farmall guy...... We got the 420
running, cleaned carb, new coil,
points, condenser,and rotor button.
Hadn't run in years. We pulled the
spark plugs out and poured some
transmission fluid in. Spun it over to
get most of it out. Still smoking! Not
worried about that. Won't stay running
more than 30-40 seconds. Back fires
through carb and dies. Couple times it
belched fire out the exhaust then
poofed out carb and died. Any thoughts?
I swear it's only running on 2
cylinders!! Lol.
