Farmall A with a Fairbanks Morse FM-J

kopeck · Sep 13, 2012

I'm trying to work some gremlins out of my, mainly a miss.

You probably remember my message about carburetors, I think I've got that wrapped up or at least a handle on it.

It's still not quite right so I though I might try another magneto. The only extra one I have is a Fairbanks Morse FM-J that's on another A. I know this not the usual setup, first one I had ever seen.

Is there anything special I need to know about it before I try swapping it over? I know plug #1 is in a different spot but that should be pretty easy to figure out.

Thanks,

K

Should pretty much be a straight bolt on thing as long as you get it timed right that is. If you need a manual for the FM-J mag send me an e-mail and I can then send you one I have in this computer. Only thing it will cost you is your time. That is common mag used on AC B and C tractors

It's kind of funny, I went back to Classic to make sure but you email address wasn't enabled there either, might have just been a fluke.

Anyway, I'll get an email out in a few minutes,

Thanks!
