    706 Gas electrical problem

    Okay, as it stands, there was a blockage in the fuel petcock, which is fixed, that was causing the surging and shutting off, the no charging was the faulty VR, it runs continuously now, with a slight miss here and there, carb is clean, fuel lines cleaned and fresh ethanol free fuel, charging...

    706 Gas electrical problem

    We ran it for about 30 minutes or so, and everything on it was working well, but a 2 hour drive home on the pothole infested roads of PA can be tough on equipment. Reguardless of the sale, it’s 58 years old, its gonna have some problems here and there. .

    706 Gas electrical problem

    I put a new ground on the VR, and now it just welds the contact as soon as it gets power, bad Vr? I havnt put a new condenser on it yet, just got the fuel flowing more, and figured out that the ground on the VR was bad, but now that I supply ground to it, it just welds the contacts, which I...

    706 Gas electrical problem

    So far, I’ve fixed the fuel blockage in the petcock, and got good flow to the carb, and my charging problem was the VRs ground cable, it’s now charging around 13.5-14.5 It still has a miss, I’m thinking I’m going to clean the carb next and see what that does for it, the choke makes it worse I...

    706 Gas electrical problem

    Perfect, I’ll try that when I get off work, luckily planting season is done until middle of August, so I have some time to get it all squared away.

    706 Gas electrical problem

    thanks, I will try that. Does it have to be when its missing, or just when running in general? I checked the fuel from the bottom bolt of the carb, in 2 minutes it was about 1/3 of a pint. so definitly low. It may have some bearing on only having around 1/4 of a tank of fuel in, vs the pressure...

    706 Gas electrical problem

    Where should I be checking the spark off off, the main wire coming from the coil to the distributor, or one of the spark plug boots?

    706 Gas electrical problem

    I have not checked the spark, or looked at the carb, just looked for loose connections and replaced the original batttery cables that had loosened up, it seems to me to be electrical related because it’s never the same amount of time before it dies, when it’s cold, it will run for 15 minutes...

    706 Gas electrical problem

    I forgot to mention, the amp light is always on as well, it doesn’t seem to be carb related as I cleaned the screen in the sediment bowl,and had a good stream of fuel out of the fuel line at the carb. But I will try that as well.

    706 Gas electrical problem

    I recently purchased what I believe to be an early model Farmall 706 Gas wide front, when I picked it up, it ran perfectly, everything was good, I saw and drove it myself, so I know for sure. 1.5hour trip home, and it picked up some electrical gremlins on the way. It will run decent when cold...
