    Ford 8N voltage drop

    By 1.5V, sorry for the lack of clarity. But the battery seems to not hold a charge as well. I will have it checked out and likely buy a new one.

    Thanks, Tim. I have a manual and have been using it to troubleshoot. New battery, coming up.

    Ford 8N voltage drop

    Bruce states, Voltage should be about 4.5 to 5v at the points closed. So a 6V battery should drop 1.5V or so if the points are closed, which is what I'm seeing with the multimeter. Since it won't turn, however, there must be another issue.

    Ford 8N voltage drop

    It's a little over 6V. Should it drop that much if the points are closed?

    Ford 8N voltage drop

    Trying to troubleshoot some electrical issues with my '51 Ford 8N. With my multimeter, I notice that the voltage on the 6V battery is adequate off the tractor, but when I hook it up and turn the key, it drops around 1.5V and won't even turn over. Is this a bad battery issue, or is there some...

    Irregular 8N gas flow?

    Three or four gallons, enough to get past the need for reserve.

    Irregular 8N gas flow?

    Is that on the top of the tank? Is it accessible without removing the tank? Or is the easier fix just to buy a vented gas cap?

    Irregular 8N gas flow?

    The cap was off while I was trying to drain the tank.

    Irregular 8N gas flow?

    Thanks for the extensive information. The fuel bowl assembly is new, however, and the issue isn't with the carb as I was seeing the pulsing fuel coming from the disconnected carb end of the fuel line.

    Irregular 8N gas flow?

    Sorry, my mistake: Two full turns for normal operation, right? I think it's written on the valve handle. Anyway, I wrote 8 thinking of quarter turns. Either way, normal operation was a different flow than reserve.

    Irregular 8N gas flow?

    While replacing the fuel sediment bowl assembly on my Ford 8N, I was draining the tank and noticed a normal flow from the fuel line at 8 turns, but an irregular/abbreviated flow when the valve was completely open. The gas would trickle out, air would bubble in the sediment bowl, followed by a...

    Ford 8N running rough after the rain

    Wires are pretty new, but I'll take a look!

    Ford 8N running rough after the rain

    Thanks, Roger. I plan to employ my wife's hair dryer for some boring one-on-one time with the 8N later today.

    Ford 8N running rough after the rain

    Is adding a "dust cover" with a gasket the best way to fix this?

    Ford 8N running rough after the rain

    Long-time lurker, first-time poster. I have a 1951 Ford 8N 6V with a side mount distributor. I rebuilt the carb a few weeks back and gave the electrical system a tune up (new plugs, wires, points, etc). She was starting right up and running more or less fine (I think the float still needs...
