HeavyGunner Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Heat doesn't help conduct electricity, the colder the better as far as electrical current flow goes. Engine warms up, in turn heats a weak coil up and it doesn't work well enough to keep your tractor running.

41chevy Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 If it runs the same 6 volt system as my 1947 Ferguson, the coil has an internal resistor the fails hot under load. Really going bad you'll see te oil from the coil in the coil wire tower.

Bigdogtrucker Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I had two Fords do the same thing,8N and 2N. One was the coil other was picking up junk in the tank. Pretty easy old machines to diagnose and repair. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/41477-53-ford-jubilee/#findComment-301347 Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlotpilot Posted August 25, 2015 Author Share Posted August 25, 2015 got into this thing a little more today` it has brand new fuel tank all new lines to the carb coil does not get overly hot but still cuts out and quits after a few mns,working am thinking now bad float as it starts right back up . it also creates a wind storm out of the fuel tank when motor is running never seen this before . could be that aftermarket tank is just flimsy it has also been converted to 12 volt Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/41477-53-ford-jubilee/#findComment-301379 Share on other sites More sharing options...

fxfymn Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Vapor lock? Did you change the fuel line locations when you changed the tank? Did it do it before you changed the tank? If not, it is probably something associated with the tank; bad pick up, kinked fuel line, collapsed rubber line, etc.I'm not a big believer in coincidence when it comes to troubleshooting; usually it has something to do with what you did last. And my bet is it will turn out to be something simple. Quote Money, sex, and fire; everybody thinks everyone else is getting more than they are!

MHfred Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Before I read Carl's response is what I was thinking. Your rerouted fuel line is getting too hot and the vapor is coming back into the tank.

carlotpilot Posted August 29, 2015 Author Share Posted August 29, 2015 Geeesh guys, the ECM needs to be reflashed. Better get it to the dealer.....Also, check the flexer valve to see if needs to have the thirty weight ball bearings changed.It will be something simple. The good old days.checked both knippilinn pins that connect to the nernst drive modulator which regulates the gama flow sensor which is run by the fan hub gear all seem to operating properly so it must be the damn carburetor Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/41477-53-ford-jubilee/#findComment-301850 Share on other sites More sharing options...
chief doug Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 get one of those inline spark checkers and watch it flash, see if it stops flashing as it stalls. that should narrow it down to ignition or fuel 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/41477-53-ford-jubilee/#findComment-301852 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pauli`m going to take the carb off and clean it out & check & reset the float see if that works the thing is not mine so i`m not spending lot of time on it . I do have a 52 8n to redo one of these days it runs & works Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/41477-53-ford-jubilee/#findComment-301869 Share on other sites More sharing options...
