    I'm new to this forum thing. Replied to your post itself. Said timing was good, and you had said this at the beginning of your post "good morning, without knowing where the carb is set ot the timing it has to be one or the other or both." I took that to mean there was something to do with...

    1946 Farmall Model A

    Update. Wiring is now correct. Have lights working, ammeter reading, and battery charging when I get it running. As to getting it running, turns out it is not currently an ignition issue. It certainly was with no spark but that was rectified a while back with all new parts. Something is...

    1946 Farmall Model A

    I do have a service manual for the Model A, it's a reprint, but covers just about everything. Hard starting would be described as just cranking on it for seconds at a time with no attempt at firing. Acts as if it has no spark, or no gas. Both issues have been addressed as when the tractor...
