B valve adjustment, what happened?

Posted by TKN on April 13, 2006 at 11:48:20 from (192.112.2.60):

I recently completed a B- Farmall re-build. I started it up a couple of weeks ago. Everything seemed good with the exception of the throttle didn't seem to be working right which I assumed was an adjustment issue.

The last thing I had left to do was to adjust the valve levers. I got the instructions off this Board a while back and followed those instructions. It basically said to get the #1 cylinder on TDC and set #1,2,3 and 5, then get the #4 cylinder on TDC and set 4,6,7 and 8. All at .014. I did that and tried to start and it started very briefly and struggled to run then died quickly never to start again.

Is that the correct gap and procedure? The page I used appeared to be from an IH manual.
