Farmall 340

Posted by wayne L on January 01, 2006 at 06:28:19 from (4.158.156.155):

A quick update on my 340. I redid the heads and got some help from you folk regarding it not starting. Thanks for the advise but I still have no go. I set the valve guides to .018 intake and .022 exhaust which was per a dealer. I also gave each cylinder a squirt of oil to help with suction and now It does not fire at all. I check the distributor and when cylinder #1 is at TDC on the compresson stroke the rotor it at #1. I am still puzzled why the plugs are dry and not drawing gas. I took off the carb and cleaned and replaced the needle/seat and jets. Everything seems to be working?. When I choke it there is gas running out the bottom of the carb and the choke is opening and closing when I choke it. Back to the distributor. I pulled of the rotor and checked the points. I have spark when I manually opened and closed the points. Not alot but it is sparking?. Can anyone provide more help?.
Thanks
Wayne
