Tony..... ...when ya try to flood yer engine and can't, thats a sign of poor compression. Time to do the "dreaded compression test". Ford specs: 90 psi min (dry). Pull all your sparkies so engine turns eazy. Crank for at least 5 puffs and ritter down. Then squirt about 1 oz or teaspoon full of oil innna sparkie hole and cranker 'gain. If compression increases, you've got worn engine rings. If compression doesn't increase, you've gott sticky intake valves or burned exhaust valves. Sticky intake valves can be unstuck with solvent of your choice. I use Marvel Mystery Oil. How do you get ....."good Coil spark ...and... Plug spark weak"????..... this is an interesting trick. And BTW, its the plug sparkies that counts in making your engine start and run. And since you neglected to share with us, any other important data, like is your tractor OEM 6 volts or a 12 volt conversion. Is your 8N an early square frontmount ignition coil? or is your 8N a late model roundcan ignition coil distributor? This secret information can help us help you diagnose your problems..... ....Dell, who flunked mindreading, just ask my ex-wife
