    WD45 (Gas) Sputters

    Thanks. I'll give it a whirl. I don't know much about distributors, but does turning it adjust the firing timing? Is firing timing the whole point?

    WD45 (Gas) Sputters

    Thanks, mdm1. There are two bolts on either side that clamp the distributor. Loosen both or am I looking at the wrong thing?

    WD45 (Gas) Sputters

    Thanks mdm1. I wouldn't even know where to start on playing with the timing other than that I know how to get the 1st piston to top dead center. I think (?) its then a matter of ajusting the distributor in some way, but not sure exactly what needs to be done.

    WD45 (Gas) Sputters

    Ok - haven't gotten to removing and dunking the carb yet, but now it runs great if its idling or moving on low throttle. If I increase the throttle to 1/2, starts to sputter and eventually stalls. There is sediment in the bowl beneath the gas tank so I'll give that a good cleaning as well. I...

    WD45 (Gas) Sputters

    Cleaning out the air cleaner definitely helped, but there is still an issue. I noticed quite a bit of sediment in the bowl so I'm going to drain the tank, give it a good cleaning, clean the carb, then go from there. I'm also going to convert to 12V although I know that has nothing to do with...

    WD45 (Gas) Sputters

    Sputters then dies. Fully charged battery, cleaned a bunch of dirt out of the air filter oil bowl, + fresh oil. Started right up and was running smoothly. Wan't able to take her for a ride as its about to storm. It sounds to me like she still doesn't have the umph that she had when I first...

    WD45 (Gas) Sputters

    Charged the battery last night and am going to clean the air filter today + some of the other suggestions. The only thing I did was remove the belly mower.???

    WD45 (Gas) Sputters

    Starts just fine, but once I start to drive her she struggles then sputters out. Battery seems to be fine. Could this be a bad connection that is causing a lack of power to the fuel pump? I was also going to check the manifold gaskets and dunk the carb.

    Hitch for Allis Chalmers WD45

    Thanks, Jim.ME! Sure looks the same. I'm over the pond until the 1st but will will get a look as soon as I get back. It is so much easier to understand this stuff with good pics / videos.

    Thanks, 4wd. Heading out of town for the week then back to the WD45 puzzle. One thing I know for sure is that I'm missing some screws and bolts so I'll have to think about that as well.

    Thanks. Trying to figure out where the supports attach to the tractor. I see where the left and right brackets on the guide should attach (I think) but not the supports on the portion with the block.

    Ok - hydraulics problem solved so now I'm removing the belly mower and reattaching the drawbars. Having trouble understanding where the supports on the block attach on the bottom of the 45. I looked for screw holes that would match up with those on the block supports but didn't see anything.

    Speaking of feeling stupid.....now I feel really stupid. Went out to look at all the screws again and noticed that screw B, even though fully screwed out, wasn't not holding the plates together tightly. Rigged it so they held together firmly and voila, working perfectly now. All that effort...

    Got it. Thanks. Going to try a few more adjustments then its probably time to get into the pump itself.
