Well, I re-re-re-timed the magneto, following the combined instruction of Spenser Yost's Antique Tractor Bible, my Farmall M service manual, and the magneto timing article on this site. Got it hooked up and totaled 30 seconds cranking on the starter. She sputtered twice and then ROARED to life! Ran a little rough but steady for about 4 minutes, then ploof, she stalled. Gas valve was open. She was no longer interested in running. But I'm still happy, the magneto is on (I presume) correctly, now all I have to do is figure out how to keep her running. Thanks for all the help! tomorrow we shoot for steady running! -BTD

You were getting gas to the carb right?ALso,I know this may sound stupid but,you did put gas in it,right?Buddy of mine spent three days working on his M.Rebuilt the carb,changed out everything in the mag he could,new plugs and wires and all it was was he forgot to put some gas in it!He really felt dumb but his M ran like a top!

Five gallons in the tank and plenty at the carb. In fact, I am a bit dissapointed in the "packing" that goes in the port at the bottom of the carb where the mixture needle is. I cannot get that to stop leaking gas. I am about to take it apart and put something else in there. I'm not sure what, but the thing drips like a shower and I cannot tighten it anymore. -BTD
