    Ford 3000 Timing

    Can you describe how to check valves? I am a beginner mechanic and am not familiar with valve placement like which are the intake and which are the exhaust when firing order is 1,2,3. Thanks

    FORD 3000 Timing Issue

    I just recently got my 1973 Ford 3000 gas 3 cylinder up and running again after several months of sitting. However, I cant get the thing adjusted correctly. I have the distributor on correctly, but even when it is timed close, when I rev the motor, it runs for 15 seconds and then spits and...

    Ford 3000 Timing

    I finally got my 1973 Ford 3 cylinder tractor running with new parts for the distributor, but the timing sounds way off and even when I try all the way slowed and all the way advanced, when I rev the engine it spits and sputters. It idles fine, but once I give it some gas, it revs up nicely...

    FORD 3000 Electrical

    Okay, an update; I have it running and when I start to start it, it fires right up. However, when I try to rev up the engine anything past idle, it misfires and sputters. I have adjusted the timing by turning the distributor and even tried the next gear or two inside the distributor. Nothing...

    FORD 3000 Electrical

    Yes, the condenser should be good as well because I replaced it when I got the points, rotor, and cap. As for the 50/50 chance of having the timing right, I thought that when the first cylinder was all the way up, it was a compression stroke and that that should align with the one on the...

    FORD 3000 Electrical

    A couple weeks ago, I posted about getting my 1973 Ford 3000 gas tractor started. Because of the advice, I got it running last week with correct timing and new points and condenser. However, a few days ago, I tried setting the timing again because it was running terribly like the timing was...

    Ford 3000 Problems

    Update, IT STARTED!!! It sounds pretty terrible, I think I just need to keep adjusting timing and my carburetor settings, but it s a lot of progress. I had to have the rotor facing the 1 after I set the distributor in place, not before. It started right up and I let it run for several minutes...

    Ford 3000 Problems

    I know that the gas lines leading to the carb are all open because when I cranked it over a few times without the carb, the gas pump shot out good amounts of clean fuel. So, I know the carb is getting fuel up to that point. After I checked the gas pump, I took the plug off of the carb bowl and...

    Ford 3000 Problems

    Okay, I cleaned out the carburetor once more and was sure to clean out all the passageways and especially the jet with carb cleaner. It was free and looked like it was in good condition. I also cleaned and checked the spark plugs for spark. When I put them against a ground and turned the engine...
