oliver 88 miss

oliver88guy · Oct 25, 2012

I"ve got an Oliver 88 pulling tractor and the last pull of the year i was going back to the trailer with it andit started missing. We found it was missing on the #4 cylinder. Spark to the plug is good. Took off valve cover to watch valves work expecting to find a broken spring or bend push rod. Everything looks good. Ran fine when it was pulling. Weird. Any ideas on what to check?

oliver88guy, i would try a new spark plug 1st, if that does not cure it then do a compression check, could be a bent or sticking valve. I've seen a valve stick when it gets hot, usually an exhaust valve. hope this helps, chuck

Compression. The 3rd element after fuel and spark.
