My tractor didn't start!!

[HarryVanderpool]

Weather in the Willamette valley, Oregon changed like a light switch this year.
A long, dry warm late summer and fall and then WHAM!!!
Rain, chilly, wet and drippy!
Finally, a day with no rain; it's time to mow the corn.
So, I hopped on the trusty 2N at about 37degF and hit the start.
It popped and died.
I tried again but knew I over choked.
After 35 years on this tractor; shouldn't I know how to start it??!!!
It always pops right off.
Hmmm,,,should I switch to 12 volts?
Should I go to fuel injection?
How about a turbo? Will it start then?
Naw. gave it a few minutes and tried again. Didn't even hear the starter and it was running.
The only thing modified was my not so important schedule!
:wink:

Dry until mid October is not heard of. I was waiting for the rain since Labor day.
Now today, Thank God, it has stopped and might get a few things done.
Dielectric grease around the plug and coil wires might also help it start on the wet mornings.
My orange toy has all that malarkey on it.

This keeps everything toasty and dry including sump condensation so no white mung.N starts right up no choke needed if your carburetor is set right.It opens the tstat and if its -30 with wind it still works its a must for anybody that has a N.Other heating devices are a waist of time and money. The bottom is the block drain top is in the head jacket. Takes about 3 hrs. The circulator is a KATs for KW tractor.Not even Royse's floor heated garage will open the tstat---- wink L,B, Master of the Obvious.
