Been fooling with this Ford 841. Adjusted valves, ran it until hot. Checked valves, all good. Sitting in the barn at idle it sounds great. But rev it up and drive it around and it sounds like a dirt track race car under caution, you know the rumble and grumble and light popping back firing? I've twisted distributor back and forth, sounds about the same. Wife took carb apart and cleaned it. It was surprisingly clean, lots of new parts in it. We can close the main jet and kill tractor. But can't adjust the smoke out of it. Lift arm is getting sooty bad! Our clothes stink like burnt gas...... Not oil smoke. Went to town, got new plugs and carbon core wires. Maybe the slightest bit better. Ordered a coil and distributor cap, they will be here tomorrow. Any thoughts? Could the electronic ignition be an issue? I know nothing about it. Just for fun I squirted a big shot of Lucas fuel system cleaner in the carb.....poured smoke out exhaust for a couple minutes and didn't seem to help ........ Frustrated.
