Well, I took my carb apart again after I had put a kit in it and the needle valve wouldn't close and gas just ran out of it. When I looked at the float this time, it had a slight indention in it where the needle sits. So I adjusted the float to 1 1/4" instead of 1 5/16" to allow for the depression for where the needle touches the float. Put it on and found the gas would shut off when the bowl was full. I thought great, but then it was hard starting and didn't want to stay running very long, then I was running down the battery trying to start and keep it running. Last week and before, it always started very easy, but as I have posted before, it doesn't want to power up under load. Now it doesn't hardly want to start. I could run the starter for a while and it is firing like it is running but when I let go of the starter it doesn't run. I'd only get it to start with the choke completely closed even when the engine was hot. It will also backfire through the exhaust when I did get it wound up and just before it would die which it wasn't really doing before. I managed to move a hay bale. The last 200' consisted of me starting it. revving it up, move forward 10' before it would pull down and die. Then start the process over. I had ran it at half throttle for a half hour when I first got it started before the hydraulic fluid would warm up enough to flow and pick up the bucket. I had also pull the sediment bulb and drained the tank before I started it because I wanted to add another fuel shutoff below the tank because the shutoff from the brand new case/IH sediment bulb always let gas drip out.
I put a condenser in with no help. I was going to put in new points but I couldn't find my feeler guages and the nut where the condenser goes in was too big for a 5/16" and too small for a 3/8" wrench. The 3/8" wouldn't tighten it up. So I stopped there.
I checked the coil after it would run for a while and quit, but it was as ice cold as I was. Decided to buy a new coil anyway, went to TSC. They carry a 6 volt that says it works with a 6v or a 12 v without external resistance. They had a 12 v with external resistance. I don't know what the external resistance is. Went to Orscheln where they had a catalog but didn't stock the coil for an IH. But I did get some new plug wires to put on. I already had put on a new dist cap and rotor. I guess I will also loosen the distributor and see if moving it makes a difference. I don't have a light but if memory serves me, if I retard it a little it will start and run better.
Anyone else have any ideas on the carb, where to get and what type of coil, and the tune-up process? I have read a ton of the old posts on this stuff and have some general ideas but I guess it is replace everything by trial and error. I also looked at that exhaust manifold flapper, I freed it up with some WD and a screw driver. However it doesn't seem to move on its own. I can move the flapper by hand, which way is open and which way is closed, either flapper to the right or up where you can see it?
Thanks for now, Green Bay just scored to go ahead in the 2nd quarter. I know no one will be on the internet till the game is over.

Today's Featured Article - Box Plow Blues - by Tom Schwarz. One of the first implements most tractor owners obtain is the box plow. For very little money, this piece of equipment promises to plow and flatten any hill or vale on your ranch road or farm. At least that's what I thought! As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
