    Farmall Super A Engine Missing When Hot

    Finally got a chance to run the Super A to test it after the readjustment of the valves. Seems to me that the problem is getting worse. I only had to mow for between 5 and 10 minutes from a cold start before the engine miss began to show up. I still haven't found any signs of a fuel or spark...

    Farmall Super A Engine Missing When Hot

    I just finished readjusting the valve lash. In the process, I did finally locate the TDC mark on the flywheel, so I'm sure that everything was in the proper position. I set valves 1-2-3-5 at #1 TDC, rotated the crank 360 degrees, then set valves 4-6-7-8 at #4 TDC. I set to 0.016" cold, ran...

So I was really thinking I had it fixed at that point, but not...

    Farmall Super A Engine Missing When Hot

    It hasn't gotten bad enough to stall out so far. The engine RPMs generally don't even drop much when it happens. It just seems like a sputter similar to a misfiring cylinder or cylinders. I don't recall whether it's still on the same tank of fuel as when the problem started, but I could try to...

    Farmall Super A Engine Missing When Hot

    I have a Super A which has recently developed an issue where it seems like the engine starts to miss when it gets hot. It's a 6-volt positive ground system. I changed the coil, but that didn't solve the problem. I ultimately ended up changing points, condenser, rotor, and spark plugs as well...
