    Replacement Gas Petcock from Harley Davidson

    Ken, that's exactly what I did on tractor Number one. Working on tractor Number two I forgot the half flare (taking pictures and all). I plan to remove the line and put the half flare on the end and reinstall the rubber hose junction. Thanks for pointing this out.

    Replacement Gas Petcock from Harley Davidson

    3 months ago I installed a gas tank petcock from a Harley Davidson motorcycle on my N Tractor (number one).

    Not getting fuel to cylinders

    OK, you've confirmed all the above! You said: "Tried pulling, but guess grass was too wet, 1 wheel went forward and the other backwards?" This could indicate the timing is advanced. Could be the points advance is stuck in the advanced position. To check, remove the dist. cap and try to...

    8N sediment bowl leaks

    I have replaced several 9, 2 &8 N gas petcocks over the years and thought I would try something new. But beware; the correct police will not be happy. I just ordered this Harley Davidson pre 1974 gas petcock. It fits a 3/8” NPT tank outlet fitting just like our tractors. The 3 position...
