I need help getting a part or parts for a 801 Ford Powermaster. It's a 6 volt system, 4 cylinder gas engine. The tractor will not fire and when it does fire, only hits on the 2 outer cylinders. (looking at the cylinders from left to right) If the engine does start (which occasionally you can get it to), you can get the two middle cylinders to fire by pulling out the two spark plug wires and holding them a short distance from the spark plugs.

So far, I have replaced the spark plugs and coil that sits next to the distributor. I have also filed the points and the ignition points. The lobes in the shaft assembly of the distributor look okay. I am clueless. Do you have any idea what might be wrong??? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Sincerely, Kaley Taylor

kaley-- another couple of things to check is your point gap and if two and three cyl's aren't fireing right you might give the engine a compression test. there could be a leak between the cyl's. also the cylinders are numbered with #1 at the front,2,3, &4 at the rear. good luck.

Hi Kaley,

You've solved your own problem. If your getting fire at two plugs then hold the two center plug wires at a gap and they fire, then the plug wires are bad or your moving the wires whith-in the distributor cap thus making contact.

Try some new plug wires or steal them from another piece of equipment to try out then buy new ones if that works. Also check the contact area in the distributor cap where the wires plug into. Next look at the cap and make sure it's good, ie, no burned lobe contacts inside of the cap, then check the rotor for tip end burn.

I have a Ford 9N Tractor. I was using it today and all of a sudden the tractor died and the transmission is locked up. What can I do? I need to move it out of the driveway.

Help!!!
