[Farmall] Difficult F14

[Andy glines]

Does it have new spark plugs of the correct heat
range?  I learned on the F-20 not to trust old plugs
no matter how good the "look".  I'm not sure of the
proper plug for an F-14 but Gordon Rice at Rice
Equipment will tell you which ones to use.  If the
plugs are OK how are the valves?  Have you had the
vlave cover off and adjusted all of the valves? 
Sometimes they get a little sticky and want to stick
open causing it to miss.
