I have been wondering recently if it would be possible to fit a fuel injector in place of the plug in the manifold to get gas straight to the engine in cold weather. I know that my 9n starts in any weather if i sparay a couple of squirts of gas in the manifold with an old windex bottle. I figure i could get a fuel pump and injector, don't bother with pressure regulator or computer, just give injector full open voltage and turn on pump for a second or two. is this possible?


just a dumb thought , i don't have any real knowledge of efi systemss, so i came to ask here if this was possible

Man it really burns up the mufflers though!
(I love your N-phreaking thoughts!)

Yeah, in the words of Huck Finn:
"It's like settin' on a keg of TNT,
and 'tetchin' it off to see which way you'd go"

Its possible, but so is blowing your manifold right off the tractor, if she coughs through an intake valve. Might I make a couple of suggestions.
If everything is right, as with my 8N.
It always starts right up no matter how cold it is. Maybe your carb needs cleaned out. Or maybe you have old gas in it. I always use "sea foam" gas treatment in the fuel for the winters. If this doesnt work maybe you could simply add a petcock valve in the manifold that you could give a shot of ether (starting fluid) into, and then close it to turn it over. But I wouldn't stand too close to it when starting. Some guys have blown the oil pan right off old cars with that stuf. Another thought is that maybe your choke isn't closeing all the way giving you the needed vacume on the fuel in the carb float bowl. Check that first.

New Plugs, wires, dist cap, points, is the spark good and hot, and the fuel fresh?

Just a few idea's

How about replacing it with a 1/4 turn valve. Then just open the valve and give it a little shot of starting fluid and close the valve again.

If you replaced the plug with an injector you would not have any way to fire the mixture. No sparky no run. Should not be a problem if your fuel system is up to snuff. Interesting question though.:-)

LOL, I guess I misunderstood your original post. I guess it is possible. I really don't think you need to though if everything else is up to snuff in your fuel and electrical systems. My vote goes to fix it right. FWIW
