Flame-out, chugging, sputtering...and dead...?

I'm getting a flame-out backfire out of the carb air inlet. it wants to fire-up,chugs (barely), but it sputters and dies.

Could this also be a timing issue?

New points, wires, condensor, plugs, cap, switch, ampeter, etc.

When I put the distributor back on, I didn't check the timing TDC etc.

Carb is blowing fuel out the air inlet too.

Insights? Has anyone had this problem...and what was the cause and how was it fixed? I plan to rebuild the carb (again) tomorrow...

I'll refrain form future 100 series postings here...but I've been trying for three days to get this tractor to fire up once again. Apologies yet, many thanks too. 9N'er

seems to me, that's what started my 9n resto.

just wanted to get it started, 4 months later she's a trailer queen...front to back. oh no, here I go again!

I'm still doing battle with my carb on flooding out. But that's another long story.

I don't have an I@T for this...but I can borrow a service manual today.

A keystone sounds pretty good! believe me, i've been at this off and on for three straight days... I'll have a celebration Keystone (Argggh!) if this starts and runs! Hate to see the wife chasin you with a skillet...she is much happier sitting next to a warm woodstove...right Chuck? ;)

Oh, the WHimpster? She's been running like a champ since I sorted through the problem and worked out the electrial bugs. Fires right up, runs great...have confidence in her now...til the next obscure problem. Boy, what a slight hair puller it is when these old tractors quit and die...but oh, what a feeling when I can sort through the problems re-do some things equal to new or better, and hear it fire up! nothing beats that feeling!

I'm really going to get that stove finished now. It's at the top of my Honey Do list. The air is turning crisp and the thought of a nice woodstove is enticing. We only heat by wood and our fireplace insert just doesn't quite send the heat to the kitchen adequately. Our old house was built in the 1920's and on a windy day you can fly a kite in our living room. When we bought this old place, we thought it had some character. 14 years later, the character has turned into one problem after another. There's something to be said for updated electricity and plumbing.... some day we'll have it all fixed. Yeah, right.

Good luck and keep us posted.

Looked like connections broke, the old terminal block was broke, and two connections were dangling in air. And all of a sudden gas pouring out of carb...two problems occuring simultaneously...just my luck! oh, what fun now!

The wires were old, frayed, breaking, and rotting.

So I rewired it...all new wires and connections. Replaced ignition lock, old and broken terminal block, rusted old non functioning ammmeter, coil, points, cap, plugs...(rusted, and black soot), all new gauges: proofmeter, oil, and temp gauge; stripped dash and lower dash, filled sanded, filled, sanded, filled sanded, primed, sanded, filled, sanded, primed, sanded, filled....oh, the dash unit is looking excellent once again... rebuilt carb...but no luck..still flooding out.

Thanks for the tip on Carb cleaner! been using ether... that stuff is wicked strong.

ANy decent diagram on the i-net for the cap? so I can determine #1 on it? See my post to Chuck(ca)...walk me through timing and timing marks?? This will be new ground for me...the 9N has no timing marks!

The grille! oh it's nice...best one I've ever seen. Willing to trade it for something too. Thank you for your post! tom
