I have this 1941 Farmall A. Been nothing but problems sorting out since last late summer when I got it. Would just cut out and die, and would not restart. Has had new: Points, Condenser, Rotor, Cap, Spark Wires, Coil, new Coil Tested, spark plugs, regulator, generator rebuilt, gas replaced, another new set of points and condenser...
Lastly, I have replaced the 6V battery as it would not hold a charge.
Things slowly have gotten better. But lastly it would not stay running when it warmed up under load. So I got a carb rebuild kit, cleaned the carb, soaked it for 3 days in the can of carb cleaner, and did the rebuild. Installing the rebuilt carb; in "testing" under load when it warmed up it would begin to die and if I choked it, it would continue to run. So I decided to purchase a new carb...
There was always a governor surging or hunting problem; so I installed the new carb, ran without adjusting the linkage and the surging started under load quickly and now it's so bad with the new good carb, I cannot keep the tractor running with the tractor under load. So adjusted the linkage to the carb and made sure it's not binding on the block also, but same surging or hunting problem. If I grab the linkage from governor to carb, it stabilizes and runs fine. I can run the engine with my hand on the linkage to stabilize it, running fine, wide open, half, or at idle. This surging or hunting happens under low, medium, or full throttle, and eventually stalls the tractor under load if left unchecked by clutch. I can unhook the "load" (harrow) and drive the tractor into the shop OK.

Since I'm at wits end, any intelligent suggestions and help as to what to do next is appreciated to solve what I think is the last problem in this tractors complex issues...

Today's Featured Article - The Fordson F Ignition System - by Anthony West. A fellow restorer contacted me earlier this year asking for some help and advice on a model F that he was restoring. He had over a period of months spent a fair amount of his hard earned cash on replacement parts for the old "trembler" ignition. Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
