Air cleaner related starting issues
So it's been a good and expensive day in the shop. So while cleaning the carb after an all night soak in cleaner I discovered a 1" crack on the lower portion of the carb. This explains my small gas leak, I thought it due to a bad gasket between the 2 halves. So I bought a new carb at TSC while...- Psucivil

Air cleaner related starting issues
So I removed the air cleaner and the tractor still won't start. I'm beginning to think that I have a weak spark as I pulled the plugs and they have gasoline on them.

Before installing the air cleaner I looked inside it and didn't see any packing plugs that needed to be removed prior to installation. I will separate the air tube tomorrow night and see what happens. I don't think the previous owner did much maintenance to it so it might have run without...- Psucivil

1951 8N air cleaner related starting issue
I'm new to the forum and just noticed there was an N series forum and posted my question over there. Thanks for the input. I could do a continuity test on my plug wires and see if I'm getting any type of short. The electrical on these tractors isn't pretty simple so it wouldn't take much to... -

Air cleaner related starting issues
I recently joined the 8N club and purchased a 1951 side mount that was converted to 12 volt by the previous owner. Not knowing it's history I have been slowly going over it. So far I have changed the oil and filter, plugs and wires, cleaned the fuel bowl and added a new screen and gasket I have...- Psucivil
