Folks this is round 2 on ongoing issue. 1964 Ford 2000 4 cyl gas tractor. Tractor died awhile back while mowing like out of gas. Ive cleaned the tank/fuel lines, replaced the carburetor and spark plugs. New gas in tank, good flow from tank to carb. Engine will turn over but will not start. Sometimes it will crank and run for a few seconds then dies. After it dies or while trying to crank gas will leak out bottom of carb or air intake port. Ive posted about this before and some folks said could be bad switch, resistor, coil or something to do with electrical? Issue is tractor wont run long enough to do some of the tests they recommended.
Sssooo ANY recommendations of why tractor wont crank/run and how to test the electrical (switch/resistor/coil/etc) if tractor wont run long enough for normal tests?
FYI, dont know if this is important or not but when changing spark plugs I looked into plug holes and there is black grease/oil on backside?
