: I know you say the plugs are new, however, new still MAY be defective. I'd pull them and test 'em (UNDER PRESSURE-95lbs. or so).
: --not firing right under load (high compression).
: Just a thought. Good luck.
: : I have a Farmall B that sputters and pops slighty. It is
: : most noticeable at mid/high speed (idles perfect). Here is what I checked
: : and think are working ok. New points,plugs,distributor cap,
: : rotor,plug wires. Checked timing. I tried 2 different clean carbs.
: : Checked the compression - all 4 cylinders read 95 psi. Checked for vacuum
: : leaks on the intake from carb to cylinders. Fresh Gas
: : It runs great other than this variable pop/miss that is driving me
: : crazy. My next guess is carbon build up in the heads or intake manifold.
: : Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
: : Thanks, DG

Had the same type of miss on mine. It was the plug wires. I built some new copper wire ones and the miss went away.
