We put our Ford 9N away last fall in running condition, but now it won"t start. We can turn it over freely but it won"t catch, even when spraying starter fluid directly into the carburetor. We know we"ve got the fuel line open because we have a very slow leak in the fuel line where it goes into the carb, and that drips like usual. So fuel is getting to the carb. We checked the lines to see if any mice had nested in there over the winter and chewed on the lines; nope. It was covered all winter so we know water didn"t get in anywhere. We then thought maybe we had old gas. We didn"t have much in the tank anymore anyway, so we drained off the gas and refilled with fresh. Still no luck. So the next thing we"re going to test is whether we"re getting 12 volts at the distributor terminal (yes, this is a 6V to 12V conversion). But we"re running out of ideas for why it won"t start. Anything else we can check?

Jon called me to help him discover why his tractor wouldn't start
