Took the carb off my 49 8N for cleaning and insection. When done, tractor wouldn't start. Checked and had lots of gas, but NO SPARK!?! What had I done? Started the diagnoses process: No spark at top of coil. Took out tool box and checked, cleaned and tightened all elec connections on the firewall. Voila! that's all it took.. Why it chose the time I'm working on the carb to get a weak elec flow from poor connections is beyond me, but it did remind me that with 6 volt system, EVERY connection is important to the circuit. It's the little things that can shut you down. HTH someone else. Steve 8N 169302

Steve, you bring up a good point. There have been several times where I have done more that one thing to my tractor such as wash it, clean and gap plugs. points, and clean and refill the air cleaner oil cup, only to find that it wouldn't start. I then had to back track my steps to see which of the things I had done may have caused the problem. More times than not it was something I had failed to do correctly, but on occasions it has been something completely unrelated. Good Post.

That sounds like what just happened to me. I just replaced the rotor, pads, and wheel bearings on the left front of my truck. I never disturbed anything to do with the fluid, except to scoop a little out of the reservoir so it wouldn't overflow when I pushed the wheel piston back in. Took it out for a test drive, and on the third stop, I felt the pedal sinking. Turns out I now have a leak in the line going to the RIGHT front wheel - nowhere near where I was working.
