on 2nd voyage - won't start!

Would like to thank Mike C, Darrel, Bob/ont, and don t for there assistance with "9N/loader - position control help??" Great help.

Blessed to have the N board. Thank you again - Rob

My first check, would be to spray some ether "quick start" into the carb throat. (take the carb breather hose off) If it will catch on ether, you've got a fuel problem. If it won't start on ether, you've got an ignition problem.

Since you're a new N-Owner, a review of Ford's starting procedure might be in order. Hand throttle about 1/4-1/3.
Tranny shifter in neutral.
Ignition key on. Push the starter button.
THEN a quick pull on the choke.

Hope this helps, and if you're still not starting, you can post a more detailed description of your problem and we can get you started..... ....Dell

"bg" has the correct idea - but I'd go one further since we don't know the plugs' condition. Remove one of the plugs, re-attach the cable and allow it to lie on the manifold. Crank the engine (Key on/neutral naturally) and check for a good strong spark at the plug itself.

If the strength of the spark (or none) is questionable then that would indicate the examination of the points and condenser would be in order- and as a last resort the coil.

In addition, if there is no spark at all - check the ballast resistor for continuity.

Regards.
