Howdy!
'73 Ford 3000. Trouble started last winter with a bad ignition coil I thought was a carb issue (I pulled carb apart & cleaned). Fast forward to the summer; preventative maintenance of carb rebuild, new plugs, wires, point, condenser, timing adjust.
Holly carb is getting too much fuel causing the seal on the bottom of it to swell and cause an air leak. I tried probably 50 different adjustments - from taking the older accelerator pump & reinstalling to a few float micro adjustments, etc. Still - it keeps making that seal swell (excess fuel that ends up on that bottom plate?). Not running well - so, bright idea time to replace with Zenith after market.
Zenith installed -- starts nice, runs nice. When applying a load, it stutters for a bit until it gets up to speed and clears up (almost like bad vac advance). Check vac advance, seems to be working ok. Check for leaks with starting fluid - all good.
Any ideas? I use this tractor with a bucket and blower for snow removal in the mountains - so trying to get after it!
