    FARMALL 460 Stalling Issue

    Wanted to give you all an udate on my 460's condition. Finally figured out what the issue was with my stalling tractor and it was indeed the carburator. As it turns out somewhere in this tractors past someone decided to modifiy and improve the carburator design. They removed the smaller...

    FARMALL 460 Stalling Issue

    Just an update on things with the 460. I had the carb off one more time. This time I cleaned it and ran a wire through all of the passages, and I visually inspected everthing and there are definitely NO blockages in there. I set the float level to 1 5/16" (it was just about there anyway)...

    FARMALL 460 Stalling Issue

    Thanks for the suggestion ss409. Not sure I want to go there yet. I need to eliminate all other possibilities before starting to modify things. When/if I ever get this sorted out...I'll let you guys know what I found. Bob

    FARMALL 460 Stalling Issue

    A quick pull on the choke will get the engine up to speed, but put load on the engine and it will very quickly die. A question about the heat riser.....once the engine is warmed up I'd assume it's supposed to be in the fully open position, so shouldn't the engine run properly at that point...

    FARMALL 460 Stalling Issue

    Are you referring to the small stem that the main adjusting screw at the bottom of the carb. pokes into? If so...it sits all the way at the bottom of the carb well and looks like it would be pretty tough to get out. How did you remove it? Is it pressed in there? Screwed in? Thanks. Bob

    FARMALL 460 Stalling Issue

    Yes...you would need to separate them. I had the exhaust and intake manifolds off of the tractor to have them machined flat. The connection point where the intake and exhaust manifolds are attached to each other appeared to be well bonded by rust, and the bolts to dismatle it were beyond...

    FARMALL 460 Stalling Issue

    Hi Pete and thanks for the education. I set the timing for 30 degree advanced at 1900 RPM and then checked it back down at Idle speed of 450 RPM and it was real close to TDC. I think all of that is OK. And yes...this tractor is stock as far as I can tell. If I gun the throttle...

    FARMALL 460 Stalling Issue

    Hi Pete; Thanks for clarifying that for me. In other words if I set the timing to top dead center at the low idle speed, which I can do by turning the Distributor for max RPM on the engine, then if all else is good, at the high idle speed of 1800 to 1980rpm I should see about a 30 degree...

    FARMALL 460 Stalling Issue

    The venturi on this one only goes in one way, and I sure would have noticed if I'd left that big sucker out. The main nozzle looks pretty good on it. I'm a pretty fussy guy when it comes to taking thinks apart and reassembling. I keep a real clean work area so I can see what came out...

    FARMALL 460 Stalling Issue

    Is 1 5/16 the float setting? That would be the distance from the bottom of the float to the carburetor surface above it, correct?? Thanks. Bob

    FARMALL 460 Stalling Issue

    So what you're saying is to set the tractor at an idle speed, and advance the spark (by turning the distributor) for max. RPM, and then set to the Factory specifications, which is 30 degrees advanced. Set the main fuel screw to 4 1/2 turns. I have a question about the heat riser...

    There is a venturi and yes it was cleaned and put back in............

    FARMALL 460 Stalling Issue

    You're talking to a relative "newbie" here. How is the main jet set on the H and the M? I've set this one to 5 full turns out. Thanks.. Bob

    FARMALL 460 Stalling Issue

    Hi; Thanks for the info., but I did check the heat riser flap and spring. They're both present and seem to be working well. The weight starts out vertical when the manifold is cold, and slowly moves to horizontal as the manifold heats up. It moves very easily and the spring always returns...
