I have a 51 super A that I just converted to 12 volts, and now I have other problems. The tractor runs good(smokes alittle)until it gets hot and then you have to gradually add more choke until it just won't run at all!!! Also I am wondering should the voltage on my gauge fluctuate with the rpm's of the engine??? Any help would be greatly appreciated... Thanks Bare

Thanks for the help. I checked out the tractor this afternoon and there isn't any fuel getting to the carb. I think the fuel element bowl is stopped up. any thoughts?????

I had the same problem on my B. Junk form the tank was restricting flow and plugging up everything. I cleaned the tank and sealed it and rebuilt the carb and little B is now one happy machine.

It sounds like its carb overhaul/cleanup time. If the smoke is white, then its burning oil. If its just a little, and your plugs are'nt fouling, dont worry too much. Maybe try 10W40 oil. If the smoke is black, your carb is running too rich. The amp guage will show more charge the faster the engine runs, until the battery is recharged and then it will drop back to just a little over 0 on the + side. My Super-A does'nt show a charge until I rev it up to excite the alternator and once it starts charging, it will continue to do so even after backing off on the throttle, but the current output is not as much at reduced throttle.

Better check your fuel flow. Having to add choke, sounds like it is not getting enough fuel. You could have crud in the gas tank, or the fuel lines or the sediment bowl, or the little screen filter that is in the carb where the fuel line goes in could be partially pluged. Take the drain plug out of the carb (while the tractor is not running) and make sure you are getting a continuous flow of fuel.

better check compression hot and cold your guage doesent measure voltage it measures amps as the rpm goes up the amps will go along with the rpms this is the way generators work so some smoke wont hurt anything does the oil disapear from the crankcase does it foul the plugs some smoke is no big deal this is not a 2000 pluss engine with all the new stuff
