I need some help on my 2n.The tractor was running fine and just quit and would not restart.So I started checking it out so far I have replaced the coil, spark plugs, spark plug wires,12 to 6 voilt resistor,dis.cap.Replaced wire to the distributor and rebuilt the carburetor.Cleaned gas tank and all lines.It will start now after I crank on it for a while.But all it will do is idle it will not power up I have good blue spark.The carburetor bowel is full of gas have good gas flow to the garburetor. Comp. is at least 95 to100 lbs per cylinder.It seems to have plenty of suction at the carburetor air intake and I checked the plugs and they dont looked flodded I have run out of ideals any suggestions.Thank you

Drop your exhaust pipe from the manifold and see if the problem goes away. Might be stopped up.

Mine does that to - each time the throttle linkage falls off. Before you keep on spending money throwing parts at the tractor, find out what's wrong first.

I would first double check the linkage set up. If it's correct, try disconnecting all the linkage and working carburetor by hand. If it works that way then you have linkage problems. if not, sounds like maybe something not quite right with carb rebuild. I'd check there. Good luck. HTH Steve 8n 169302

Mike..... ...if I understand what you have just said.....a good working carb from another tractor does not work right..... .Then the logical conclustion implies that you have a GOVENOR problem because the governor really controls the carb throttle shaft.

Check your governor out..... .Dell

Does it run smooth at idle and start easily? It sounds like the timing gears have jumped but I don't know how that would happen with gear drive. Is your manifold good? Does it backfire when trying to speed up or just bog down or do nothing? Is the power valve clean? Is the ignition switch good?
