1952 FARMALL H QUIT RUNNING

STEPHEN FAILLA · Apr 23, 2011

I JUST PURCHASED A FARMALL H IT WAS RUNNING BUT QUIT ONE DAY JUST AT A IDLE. I REPLACED THE SPARK PLUGS,POINT,CONDENSER,SPARK PLUG WIRES AND DISTRIBUTOR CAP DUE TO EVERY THING BEING CORRODED BUT IT SEAMS TO NOT BE GETTING ENOUGH SPARK.COULD THIS POSSIBLY BE THE COIL.ANY ONE WITH SOME INFO WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

#1 please get rid of the cap lock no one like to be yelled at.
#2 trouble shoot do not throw parts at the problem that will cause more problems.
#3 That said make sure you have the points set right at 0.025 if memory serves me right. Then check that you have a blue/white spark that will jump a 1/4 inch gap. If you have a good spark at ALL plugs then go to a fuel problem check. Pull the drain plug out of the bottom of the carb and make sure you have a good steady flow there for 5 minutes. Catch the fuel so as to make sure it is not full of water and rust/dirt. If no flow work back to the tank to find the problem

dont worry about the caps . Look at the problem this way it was running then stopped now common sense will say it ran out of fuel the plugs wires and so forth didnt all go bad at once so check the fuel see if its comes out the carb when the drain plug on the bottom is removed. That would be the most likely thing to check.

Well as I said if I remembered right LOL 0.025 would still probably work LOL
