Farmall M won't start. When it does runs like crap, it will pull itself along OK but when I shift to road gear the engine RPM slows down to about 700 rpm and it just putt putt putt putt. When its doing this it's unresponsive to the throttle change I have to shut it off and try to restart. I thought it was the governor not advancing the throttle. I removed the upper governor housing so I could see what was happening it appears that the throttle shaft is being advanced by the governor the way it should be. This is what I did to try to correct it carb overhaul, replaced points, cond. Cap, rotor, wires and plugs. Still barely runs, cyl compression ranges from 75-90 a little low I know, but still this thing went from running decent to like crap overnight. Great spark at coil but not so great at the plugs. interestingly though when I release the starter rod just as the engine stops turning a lot of times the engine will make a half revolution backwards but not violently. I need help please. Im not new to mechanical work 30+ years this has me stumped so any help would be appreciated.
