    ford 8n throtle response

    I didn't realize you would think a thing like that would cause me stress. In fact working on that old tractor is a stress reliever. So again, is there an adjustment that can be made to the linkage to eliminate that delay or is that common on those tractors. Thanks, Jim

    ford 8n throtle response

    when the throttle lever is at it's lowest point and I begin to increase the engine speed, the speed doesn't increase until the lever reaches the 5th notch on the throttle plate. Is something out of adjustment? How would I correct that? Thanks, Jim

    How about the resister, if that wasn't working properly could that somehow contribute to a miss in the engine?

    spark plug clearance 8n

    the incorrect reinstallation theory might be right. should the tank fit up under the rails on the hood when the hood is laying upside-down on the ground or just fit right on top of the rails?

    spark plug clearance 8n

    the plugs that are in the tractor are autolite 417 no anti fouling tips. I changed the tank to one I bought from yesterday's tractor for just that reason, no plug clearance, but their still isn't any clearance. Jim

    spark plug clearance 8n

    Hello, How much clearance is there supposed to be between #1 spark plug and the bottom of the gas tank on a ford 8n tractor? On mine it's tight to the tank. Is that normal? Thanks, Jim
