does anybody see anything wrong with taking out sparkplugs,squirting a f little gas ionto each cylinder,quick put plugs in and sterting farmall h?

There's nothing WRONG with doing that, on an occasional basis, as long as you are careful and don't set it (and you) on fire!

The question is WHY do you have to do it... choke not working, other carb problems, poor compression/bad valve(s)/intake leaks, weak spark or low cranking speed (ASSUMING you are using the starter)?

Squirting gas down into the cylinder could allow it to seep down past the rings and may wash away the oil, possibly scoring your cylinder walls? I"m thinking this may not be a good idea.

If he does it in MODERATION, NO problem.

If he, as you are suggesting, tries to "drown" it in gas, well that's another matter!

Please explain why you would want to do it. There is no practical reason to. If the motor turns over, most of the gas is just blown out the exhaust in 2 revolutions. Wayne

I suppose if closing the carb's choke blade isn't enough fun.You could go for the extra thrill of pulling the plugs and squirting gasoline.

You shouldn't have to resort to this unless conditions are really extreme, and I'm talking about way below zero! If your engine is in decent shape, and you have a good hot spark, timed right and your carb is clean and adjusted properly you shouldn't have any trouble starting in very cold conditions. I regularly use my hand start tractors in zero temps without much trouble.

If everything is set right and working, you shouldn't have to squirt gas into the cylinders. IF you have a problem with carb or spark, I think you would be better off to spray some WD40 in the cylinder, it's flammable. Heard one time of a guy selling used lawn mowers. He would pull the plug and spray WD40 in the cylinder and start it just before someone came to look at it. Started good warm, sold mower and them the buyer came back later and mower wouldn't start. Sounds more like you have a carb problem or low compression. Chris

I have never heard of anybody having to STERT a H Farmall that way before.
