    Hi all - I have 1970 ford 4000 gasonline. It has a new carb, and an old throttle linkage. The linkage continuously pops off. Does anyone have any recommendation on a replacement linkage? I have seen online that they have plastic ones, but I think I'd prefer the metal ones. Also, any tips and...

    Hi all. My tractor is finally running thanks to all of the help on here. I did a lot of upgrades this summer, plugs, wires, zenith carb, coil, and points. The tractor runs well when it runs. Maybe needs a tiny timing adjustment but she drives fine when she starts. Thats the problem, when she...

    Ford 4400 - tuning after change

    Is the next step timing light? When I did the replacements I did gap test the points and plugs, then installed everything at 0TDC with the points just opening. It runs, but not great. I am attaching a video from today, would appreciate any feedback Untitled URL Link

    Ford 4400 - carb rebuilt, replaced plugs, wires, and dis

    Thanks @Used Red MN. I was checking for compression so I believe it was set setup on the right stroke. I also confirmed the bowl was full by undoing the bolt at bottom of the bowl and it refilled successfully. Will try the gas in cylinder tip next. One variance I have seen is that the...

    Ford 4400 - carb rebuilt, replaced plugs, wires, and dis

    Have confirmed it was cylinder #1(closest to the radiator) on compression stroke by putting my finger in the spark plug hole. Then also confirmed on the fly wheel it was at 0 degrees top dead center. Maybe it shouldnt be 0 top dead center when the points are opening?

    Ford 4400 - carb rebuilt, replaced plugs, wires, and dis

    I have been working on this old ford 4400. It never ran great so I slowly have been slowly chipping away at problems. This week I cleaned out the tank, fuel tap, carb, and replaced the coil, distributor, plugs and wires. Plugs and points were gapped at .025. Timing was sent O TDC and points just...

    Ford 4400 - distributor and engine firing order alignmen

    This was very helpful. Thanks for helping to educate me. I have found the timing marks and know where TDC is on the compression stroke. Planning to start out at 2 degrees BTDC. Just waiting on new plug wires and then I will give it a go. Thanks again
