    no spark

    For your own better understanding, the spark occurs the moment the points OPEN... not when they close... when the points close, a magnetic field builds around the many coil windings.... when the points Open, that magnetic field collapses (at the speed of light) and that is when you get the...

    52 8n Stalling

    The Gas tank VENT can... become 'clogged' which then doesn't allow the used up fuel to be replaced with air inside the tank. That stops fuel flow.. a quick check is to loosen the gas cap and manually let air in... costs nothing to try.. The normal vent is not accessible without removal of the...

    Calcium chloride

    It is always interesting to to ask: How many gallons in ONE cubic Foot?? Yeah, 12 inches by 12 inches by 12 inches. It doesn't SEEM much bigger than the gallon can of thinner sitting on your bench... but a cubic foot holds 7.48 Gallons.... yes, just a touch under 7 1/2 gallons. Do the...

    Brakes on 9 N

    My Dad used to say that tractors needed Good brakes and a Good governor... I suspect the average Ford N today is likely to be found Weak in Both categories... some other brands did excellently well in both... and these tractors, like all of us, are getting On in years. That was Dad's opinion...

    6V starter.

    It depends on how many 'constants' you wish to factor in on your paper formulae.... Without a pencil and paper in your hand, take your trusty volt meter and read the voltage loss across the length of the starter cable with a constant cranking load: First using a 'small' cable and Then using a...

    6V starter.

    As JMOR says, Yes, very well. I used a #4 ga wire rather than the huge wire used with 6 volt... but only to provide a Slightly small current hit. No problem.

    PTO Hydraulic pump question

    In the event you might build a reservoir yourself, one that is 12 x 12 x 12 will hold just shy of 7.5 gallons (if totally full...) a gallon is 231 cu in .. it adds up quickly!

    cold weather starting

    For lack of another method years ago, my Dad would take a teakettle of scalding water out and pour it over the intake and carb. As mentioned by RM-MN, it makes the vapor HAPPEN. (Dad was east central MN.. so cold it was hard to get the transmission to turn... having the clutch DOWN was a MUST!!)

    New to me 2N

    You don't indicate just how you are set up but.. making use of the SHORTEST Belt possible is a good place to start. Having a badly worn center pin on the fronbt axle may allow it to travel further than fresh parts would allow... Free advice...
