H Will Not Run

I have a 1946 Farmall H that usually runs like a top. Last week when I was mowing, I hit a large rut that gave the tractor quite a jolt. It then started running very rough (it would hardly run at all). I shut it off within about 20 seconds or so. I now can’t get it started again. It has spark, and good compression in each cylinder. The air intake and exhaust are clear of any obstruction.

After the starter cranks it over a few times, it may sputter once or twice, and gas will start running out of the carburetor. Could the bump I hit somehow have caused a problem in the carburetor? Could it have screwed up the timing somehow? I would appreciate any ideas anyone might have about what I might try next.

Jeff/Ont. may have nailed it but...it could be in the timing. If the 'jolt' was severe enough it could have sheared the gear on the distributor shaft. Pull the cap and see if it turns when cranked. Get compression on #1 and see if the rotor is still pointing at the #1 wire on the cap. Also, you may want to see if the points are opening/closing at the right time and haven't closed/opened any, not likely if you have spark, but it's worth checking. May want to see if you still have good flow at the carb inlet, too. If it hits on a snort of ether(not much) it is probably in the carb/fuel supply. Tell us what you find.

I'm wondering if you dislodged some sediment with that jolt and it has screwed up your carb. I may be totally wrong, but i think if your wires are connected firmly and you have good spark, it really narrows it down to the carb. Just my opinion---Jeff
