[Farmall] Difficult F14

I use Autolite 3077 plugs for my F-20, rather than the 3076 that is spec for it.  The 3077 fire a little hotter from what I was told.  I have had no problems with this plug and have heard from many who have had issues with non Autolite plugs.
 
Here is where I buy mine from ($3.10 each):

Not sure if this will help your problem or not, but I thought I'd offer it up since spark plugs were being discussed.
 
Thanks,
 
Tony

I've adjusted the valves and they seem loose.  I put in new plugs that the
manual states.  I did all this before the first time I started it.
