I have a Ford 4000. It ran great and sound as if it ran out of gas. Put gas in tank and started the tractor. It ran and sound as if it was flooding out. We have checked all that we know and can not get it to run. It will idle but will not take gas without spitting and poping. Sounds as if it has jumped time. Can anyone help? We have checked the timing, the carb., new plugs, points, coil and still have the problem. help.

| Thanks to everyone for your help. Problem was the wire going from the coil to the destribitor. It had a nick on the side and was jumping fire. Thanks again for your help.

| Good you got it running. And thanks for the update.
A lot of guys will come here and ask a question. Good folks here will give it their best but we never hear back from them.
So you never know if they got it running, it still sits neglected in the shed, they're too buisy campaigning to post an update or their widow doesn't know where to post.
Ford made some great tractors and it sounds like you have one of the better ones.

| | It sounds like fuel............... but check the SPARK first. I fought a problem like that on a Red Seal a number of years ago. It was a bad coil..... Rod

| If it idle's fine, it's probably has a stuck advance mech. Or fuel starvation.

| It is a four cylinder gas. We have rebuilt the carb also a complete tune-up.It is an early model 4000 with five speed trans.

| | always check spark first, as indicated. if it has good spark.. move on to fuel. cheoke help that spitting and sputtering? might have some water in the sed bowl, or such a reduced flow that when you open the butterfly she's bucking and starving..

| Start with the basics.
Verify that you have a bright bluish white spark at the plugs that will jump a good 3/8".
Short or yellowish spark will not do.
Next check your fuel.
Remove the plug on the bottom of the carb and let gas wizz into a can for at least 1 full minute. It should not slow down or stop in that time.

| I have never worked on the gas version but are the plugs in the same basic holes the injectors would be in on the 3 and 4 cylinder diesels?

| Yes, same location and same depth of holes where the spark plug washer or copper washer on an injector seats against the head.
They are different heads - gasser does not have the locations for injector studs cast in.
Valves, rocker arms and push rods are the same part #s between the two.

| First telll us if your have a 4 cylinder 4000 or a 3 cylinder model.
Sounds like fuel to me. And both tractors gotta have fuel to run.
More info from you will gain you more info from us.
This is the best place on the whole internet to ask these questions.
Welcome. Don't be shy.
