2N will not start

You might also try jumpint it off with the 12 volts from another vehicle with the jumper vehicle running by following this procedure.

When jump starting an N tractor with 12 volts it not necessary to hook the 12 volts to the 6 volts battery at all. As a matter of fact I strongly reccomend against it.
Instead hook the 12 volts directly to the frame of the tractor for the ground and with the transmission in neutral and out of the way of the wheels of the tractor so you don't get run over touch the other cable from the 12 volt source to the post on the starter.
By doing it this way you don't even have to worry about the polarity of the batterys or which cable you have to ground or positive to the frame or the starter as the 6 volt systme is not intered into at all with the 12 volts. Just turn on the switch and touch the hot cable to the starter post and it will go.

Try taking out the plugs and see if they are wet. If they are leave them out for a bit so things will dry out. You might want to check for spark while there out. I lay them on the block and with the fuel off, but the ignition switch on, give a few cranks, you should see a spark at each plug. If you don't check wires and connections.

When I start I use about 1/3 throttle. Choke it good. I often use a 12V jump. You might also try a shot of starter fluid. Spray it in by the air cleaner. Use only a little! Sometimes I loosen the connector between the air tube and the carb and give a quick shot there. Don't forget to turn on the switch, i've done that!

If you've got air, spark, and gas, eventually it will go!

Good Luck!

I had same problem with my '46 2N. I had replaced coil but failed to make sure the gasket between the coil and dist. was squarely seated. I had also topped off antifreeze. Ran engine, antifreeze came out of overflow, sprayed on fan, and coated coil.

Try removing coil, pulling one clip off of dist. cap, and look for moisture. Then use a hair dryer to dry it out.

Good luck!
