Hello fellow old tractor guys. I have 1951 H that acts up on me during cold starts. When I shut er down I always close the fuel valve and let her idle till she dies. Then I pull the exhaust stack off and wrap the motor area with a tarp to keep the snow out. When I went to start her the other day to remove some snow, it was about ten degrees and had a little over 3 feet of snow on the ground and the H. The engine caught right away but reved up to a high RPM. I had not touched the throttle and was barely choking it. I shut er down becase I was afraid it might bend a rod or something. I did this several times, each time letting some of the heat transfer to the rest of the engine. Finally I started raising and lowering the loader to put a load on the motor and slow down the RPM. Eventually it warmed up and started idling and responding to the throttle. Anybody out there know what's going on ?
