Bob in E.Texas said: (quoted from post at 17:37:37 08/21/08) Back on June 12,this year I posted a message telling of all the problems in trying to get my Old Farmall M to run.It was posted under my name of Another Bob. This time they won't accept that name(?) In any event I received a lot ot suggestions, most of them we tried. No luck. Still acts like it is going to run, then in a minute or so, stops.

Any suggestions, or ideas welcomed. Has anyone had one like this and found the trouble to be with the manifold? That is about the only part I haven't replaced.

If it's getting fuel, timing is right, and has compression it's gotta run. You're missing one of these three components.
