Hey guys. I have a 48 farmall h that smoked like a freight train when I bought it. I have since rebuilt the engine and now it is hard to start. Before I rebuilt the motor, I could start it on about 3 throws of the crank (no electric start). Now that I rebuilt the motor, it no longer smokes, but it is a son of a pup to start. carb is clean, mag is hot, timing is right on the money as far as I can tell, but I still have trouble getting it to start. Once it is running, it has TONS of power for an H, but whatever you do, don't shut it off or you will crank a good 55 to 60 throws to be able to start it again. It takes probably about 25-30 throws to get it started cold. Temperature outside seems to have no bearing whatsoever. Any ideas? Also, it seems to start easier facing downhill or on flat ground. REALLY hard, if not impossible to start facing uphill. Ideas, guesses and advice are welcome! Sorry to be so long winded. Thanks for helping me.
