Hello all. I hope that everyone had a happy Thanksgiving. I am having a problem with my lp gas 450 that has me baffled. I rebuilt the Ensign regulator/vaporizer and it worked great. I ran it bush-hogging for several days, on and off, no problems whatsoever, although on cold mornings I sometimes had to "prime" it with gasoline, because I thought that I might have the idle setting not quite right on the vaporizer, but I wasn"t sure how to adjust it, so I just let it be for now. About a week ago, I was running it, bush-hogging, and it starts to misfire, and it acted like it wasn"t getting fuel. It began missing more and more, and got to where it sounded like an old JD 2-cylinder, and I finally parked it til I could find out the problem. Well, it wouldn"t start even with it primed, and I finally determined that it has no ignition fire at all. I set the points at .022, had the condenser tested, it is good, replaced the coil from my JD that ran, and it didn"t do the Farmall any good, checked the plugs, they all look fine, checked to make sure that I had full voltage at the coil/ external resistor, still no fire at the plugs. The wires are old, but I don"t see how they could be that bad all of a sudden. Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks, Hugh

Today's Featured Article - Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
