Hello Guys,
I have been restoring my F20 that ran perfectly before I started the restore. I have not done anything to the motor at all. I have put a new coil in and a new condensor. I have new plugs and plug wires on it. I have a rebuilt carb that I bought about a year ago on it.
When I tryed to start it yesterday it would not start. I thought that maybe because it was sitting for a couple months not running that it was just being stubern. We belted it to another tractor and all I could get it to do is pop and backfire out the exhaust. A couple times it shot flame out of it. So today I worked on it somemore in between getting the other tractors out to the show. I changed the coil and the condensor and one side of the points(the other side was not the right one in the kit)but I did clean it so it was nice and shiney again. I then tryed to start it first by cranking and no go. So then we hooked the tow strap on it and tryed to pull it and still no go even after about a mile. It is dumping gas out of the bottom plug in carb after being cranked on or pulled for awhile. I opened the drain cock on the side of the carba nd am getting good fuel out of there. I have checked and cleaned the valves and none of them are sticky. I checked spark yesterday and had spark. I did not today because it started to storm and i went from the shop to the house. I will do that tomorrow. The inside of the exhaust manifold is wet and smells like fuel but for some reason it dose not want to fire and run. I have made sure that the primer cups are tight so they dont leak off compression. I am just stuck. I have a manual and a IT manual but I cant figure it out. Could it be that the magnet is on wrong on the mag? I have the IH out but could someone repolarized it backwords? Could it be something stuck in the carb? Something varnished from sitting to long? It is a new chinese manifold could it be something wrong with that? Could it be the mag is weak? It ran right before we took it apart perfectly. That is why I am confused. Thanks Guys for the help! It was IH year at the show this year but doesnt look like the old girl will make it there this year but we will spoil the day for those green ones next year when we get her out there. Thanks Guys!

Today's Featured Article - An Old-Time Tractor Demonstration - by Kim Pratt. Sam was born in rural Kansas in 1926. His dad was a hard-working farmer and the children worked hard everyday to help ends meet. In the rural area he grew up in, the highlight of the week was Saturday when many people took a break from their work to go to town. It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer. It was an Allis-Chalmers tractor dealership,
