    No acceleration

    This moved back to the top of my to-do list. Tractor starts and idles will not increase rpm when throttle is open. I am moving to a compression test as my thought path is lack of vacuum to pull fuel from the carb when butterfly opens. Right direction?

    No acceleration

    I popped off the exaust at the manifold while idling and saw a lot of fire. This is either too rich a mixture, which would indicate fuel is being delivered, a bad valve, which is possible, or bad timing. Since this all started with an ignition issue, today will verify timing again and move on...

    No acceleration

    Update. Butterfly does follow throttle in that it does indeed open and close. Removed, replaced the carburetor, drained fuel and replaced with non ethenol. It was running unleaded with an octane booster, so figured why not. The carb came preset, idled a little chopoy so I took all the adjusts...

    No acceleration

    My line of thought is that when I move the butterfly back and forth this engine should go vroom vroom. The governor just basically adjusts idle speed when moving to compensate for load. Set it and forget it. So by passing the governor when parked I should get vroom vroom when I move the...

    So confirmed no blockage from intake or exaust. When throttle is full open the butterfly ir open and the governor arm is pointing all the way to full position against the full throttle block. Engine RPMs do not change with change of governor arm position. Do I need to remove and repair this at...

    No acceleration

    It idles like like a sewing machine and will not accelerate. The throttle movement has no effect. I can move the shaft between the governor and carburetor freely and it also moves when I use the throttle adjustment on the column. When the throttle is applied it moves the shaft away from...

    No acceleration

    First time poster, be gentle! My 48 Ford Tractor 8n. Side mounted distributor was swapped to EI several years ago. After some tinkering and sitting around for almost 4 years, I got it up and running. It ran great for a couple of hours then started spitting and stuttering and shut down. After...
