Early spring it started running rough and I had to put the choke on a little bit. It kept needing more. I took the intake pipe off and sprayed carb cleaner in with the engine running with the throttle up just enough to have a good rpm. That did the trick. Eventually the problem came back which is why I added the small inline filter between the carb and sed bowl. I tried the carb cleaner solution again but whatever junk it picked up if could not remove. That’s why I tried the gas additive. I had not thought about it picking up air. The starter has never given me any problems in the years I have had it. There is a first time for everything. I would like to expand on how this all came about and why I thought it was the solenoid and see if I am missing something. My Super a has a solenoid mounted in the dash under the cultivator lift levers with an old key ignition mounted where the turn selector knob was. + is hot – ground is how it is set up and it is 12V. It was this way when I inherited it. Hot wire runs straight to starter from solenoid. When I turned the key there was a small pop and flash on the + terminal. It actually melted a little tiny spot where it flashed. From then on the solenoid would click when I turned the key but nothing else would happen. I thought I had a grounded wire but found none. I replaced the pos cable and battery connector. Still nothing. The battery was not old but I wanted to make sure. I took off the battery connections and tried to jump it off using good heavy duty cables from our suv while it was running. Turned the key and it popped and had the tiniest flash on the suv battery. I hooked the battery back up and grounded the solenoid to see what that did and it just clicked like turning the key. That is when I thought of the hand crank and could not turn it. That’s pretty much the play by play.

Today's Featured Article - The Cletrac General GG and the BF Avery A - A Bit of History - by Mike Ballash. This article is a summary of what I have gathered up from various sources on the Gletrac General GG and the B. F. Avery model A tractors. I am quite sure that most of it is accurate. The General GG was made by the Cleveland Tractor Company (Cletrac) of Cleveland, Ohio. Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
