I was plowing snow last week with my 44 A. All of a sudden it started running realy bad and I barely made it back to the barn. Replaced plug wires, new plugs,points and condensor. Cleaned fuel bowl. It runs a little better but no power at all. Any ideas?

About twice a year, Dad would take the tube from the valve cover, to the intake off, and at a fast idle, pump used oil from an oil can into the intake--as fast as he could pump it..!! MAN, you have to see the Smoke, to believe it..!! He said it was to help prevent sticking valves... Maybe that is what is happening to your '44.....

Had a simular problem on my B the other day. Found the intake valve adjustment on #2 cylinder was backed way off. Once I readjusted the valve and tightened the jam nut she ran fine.

Leeray, not to argue with what Clooney mentioned but I would check the air cleaner. While plowing snow I would guess you got moisture in your air cleaner and that is what caused your trouble. Odds are your carburetor is full of this moisture, too, and is causing your symptoms. The best way to get rid of this moisture laden oily mess is to take the carburetor off the tractor and give it a good cleaning. This is not at all uncommon on an A. Hope this helps. Mike

Leeray, try running it with the air intake elbow disconnected to see if that helps. Maybe the air cleaner is full of water or ice or is plugged.
~Make sure it has good fuel flow from the carb drain fitting for at least 30 seconds, if not find out why.
~It wouldn't hurt to run a compression check on it either.

Thanks for the advice! How about an aircleaner full of ice and dead yellowjackets!! That seems to have been the problem

Leeray, I kind of thought that's what you would find...
