[AT] Ford 1841 fuel problem

[Lew Best]

I just ordered a carb kit at Napa; amazingly it'll be in after 8 am
tomorrow!  :)  I have plenty of extra ignition parts & that low pressure
fuel pump that I can temporarily rob off running machines if the carb don't
cure it & I can't find a vacuum leak.

I would agree except that the tractor will run with the choke pulled out. 
Richer fuel mix shouldn't help a poor spark do it's job.  I chased a similar

but intermittent problem a few years back and it
did turn out to be fire.  After I replaced almost everything in the ignition

system I finally found the problem.  The small wire from the coil to the 
points was bad, partially broken inside the wire jacket.
