Hi- I have a Farmall M that had the engine recently overhauled last summer. After the rebuild the tractor started easily and ran fine but had never been timed. A few months ago I took the tractor to the local farmall mechanic who timed it and put it on the dyno. I drove the tractor home and parked it in the garage for the winter. Last week I went out to start it for the first time since then and it didn't want to start but finally did after several attempts. It would only start with the throttle down at an idle and ran very slow and rough when started. It took several minutes of this before the tractor would take any more throttle and it still would spit and sputter when opened up. It would also backfire out the exhaust and was dripping gas from the carb. Flooded I think from all the cranking. I have cleaned the carb, the cap, wires, plugs and electronic ignition are all new. The valves have not been readjusted since the rebuild. Could the valves be causing this problem or could it be something with the timing? Does it sound like a fuel issue or maybe spark? This is my first tractor so I don't know much about these but am learing as I go. Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks, Cory
