I bought a 1966 IH 424 Utility tractor last fall -- it's a work tractor, and it's done quite well. But, it's had a penchant for only starting with the throttle adjusted to idle. Then, I would have to advance it slowly until it warmed up. Well, on Sunday, as I was preparing to take a small trailer up the hill to get some things from the house (the workable land is bottom land while the house is up a hill), it died and won't start again. The tractor had been running for 5 minutes or so, the throttle was adjusted about halfway. When I let the clutch out to go, the engine coughed and died. It wouldn't start again. I thought, okay, it's flooded. I'll let it sit for a while and it'll start again. Nope. Wouldn't. Won't.

I'm going to replace the fuel filter. I was planning on replacing the spark plugs and wires anyway.

I'm wondering if you have any ideas about things I should check in order to get the thing running again -- it's got work to do. Does it sound like I might need to get a rebuild kit for the carberator? Anything else?

Thanks,

Darryl

It sounds like a fuel problem. Before you do too many things make sure that you are getting gas to the carburetor. Is the electric fuel pump working? You should hear it clicking with the key on. Another thing to check is the electric needle valve on the carburetor. It may have gone out and shut off the fuel supply, it is a spring loaded closed solenoid. You can hear and feel it click open when you turn the key on. You may have a piece of dirt in it or the carburetor. It doesn't take much to shut them down. Good Luck.
