    Jet adjustment

    In the FO-4 book it states that both jets should be adjusted out "1 Turn" on my 1950 8N/6V. Does this mean 1 revolution (360 degrees)?

    8N Starter Question

    The battery is fully charged (about 2 months old) as I have tested it with my own tester. I just installed new cables today (bought from this web site), I have checked all of my grounds and see no problem there, and now all I get is a "click-click- click". Prior to installing the new cables...

    gasoline supply

    I knew of the carb elbow filter (which is after the in-line filter I pulled). I was going to pull the fuel tank filter and the fuel bowl filter next, but I did not want to if the amount of gas flow I was getting was deemed enough by people who are more of an expert than I am.

    gasoline supply

    On my 1950/8N/6V/Side mount after a minute or so I am getting no gas after my filter (and no it is not plugged) and only a fast drip prior to the filter (and yes I have plenty of gas). The tractor will not fire. Plenty of spark at plugs. Should I be getting more gas than that? Suggestions?
