: : I have a 1949 Farmall Cub and today I noticed that as I was Plowing it seamed to loose Power. I could Push in the clutch and the engine would speed back up , But now it seams to just loose power even with no load to pull.
: : Can anyone offer any advice on what might be wrong.
: : The Oil Pressure is Good, It has new Plugs, and Wires, the only thing not new is the rotor and Distributor cap.
: : I have a Brand new Carb and it has ran great but I'm Stumped...
: : Thanks for all the Help

Mike,
Sorry about the first followup, I'm new at this. I would check the point gap in the distributor. The
points may have closed up-too narrow a gap & you get a weak spark. Also check the timing. Either one can result in the problem you described. Good luck!
