Believe it or not, I had a friend tell me that running a cloths pin on the fuel line on his 9N helped with the problem! Maybe it helps disapate heat...

: : I'm looking for help in identifying the source of
: : a stalling problem with a Ford 9N. The problem
: : occurs under heavy load, ie. brush-hogging.
: : I've removed and cleaned the carburator,
: : drained and flushed the gas tank, cleaned all
: : screens, replaced the points, plugs, rotor,
: : distributor cap, and coil. All to no avail.
: : After about 30 minutes to 1 hour of hard running
: : the tractor stalls and will not restart. : : If left overnight, it starts and runs fine
: : only to repeat the problem again. Any ideas? : The problem you are decribing is a vapor lock. I have been battling this for years with an 8N. It only happens in warmer weather and under prolonged load. Belive it or not if after running for a while you open the access door to the hood you can feel the heat escaping! That helps a little...Setting the carb.. to the rich side helps a little....And if all else fails, crack the fuel line open at the carb and let fuel trickle for a few seconds. Be careful of hot exhaust pipe!!!! Beyond that I haven`t found a permanent cure for this problem. Would love to hear it if anyone knows!
