[Ford-ferguson] question

[Richard Greer Jr.]

thanks to all on the replies.  Kept thinking it had to do with the gas 
brought a new filter the one thats goes into the carb. That wasnt it still 
acted up so had a new points and condenser on hand so put them on and it 
starts and runs like it always had .  My guess it was the condenser which i 
cant believe but like Chandler found with his truck that little outfit can 
cause mishift. my next question is what is is the condensers job? by the way 
i have been following this site for a long time and have added afew cents 
worth here and there.    THanks again to all.
