I have a 1952 8N that has been giving me some starting problems for about a week now. When I hit the starter button, the enging cranks and I hear a pop or two - but it won't start. Could cold weather be causing the problem? Any ideas would be appreciated.

another solution, if it is the carb, is to take a hair dryer to the bowl and warm it up. Don't use a torch as you can blow up. Believe it or not I have heard of people doing it.

Matt,

The up draft carb although simple was not one of Henry's best design.

One possible problem that could cause this is water, not from your gas, but from very cold weather freezing in the carb it self. How cold has it been in MO? I have had this problem here in MI when we have very cold (below zero)humid weather. The fix is bring the carb in the house and warm it.

The other problem is that you might have water in your fuel. Solution, drain it.

I converted my 1950 to a 12 volt system. Up here in MI 6 volts just does not cut it. This should not be the cause of your problem, but a recomendation.

Good Luck
Joe
