Good day guys,
I'm hoping someone can help point me in the right direction as I'm at a loss as to where to go. This will probably be a long post, so I'll apologize in advance
To start, I don't know exactly what tractor I have. It's a hand me down that came through my wife's family. I believe it's a 9n, but I can't find any of the casting markings to indicate any year. I'll post some pictures below and maybe it will help if necessary.
I've used it to brush hog my property for years until the key was left on and I believe that it caused the points to burn up. It sat for a bit, and then I replaced the points, condenser, cap, plug wires, and plugs.
After that, the tractor seemed to start okay, and it would run and idle fine, but any time I tried to engage the brush hog, the tractor would die. It simply no longer had power.
I spent some time in the forums looking for answers, and it seemed as though it could be plug wires for the #3 and #4 cylinders were swapped. I double checked and believe the firing order is correct. Then it seemed as though it may be a carb issue, and since it was already prone to leaking I replaced it.
It fired up immediately, but exhibited the same issues. I also noticed that the throttle response was a bit slow. I can't say how it was before I replaced the carb, but actually opening the throttle on the carb seemed to have a bit of delay. Fast forward through me fumbling around with the main and idle screws, and I've managed to really screw it up now.
So, would anyone have any suggestions / ideas / resources I might use to get myself back on track? Of course, if there are any questions I might be able to answer that could help, ask away.
Thanks in advance!
