1949 8N Wants 1/4 Choke To Run

.
Go on Amazon, or E-Bay, and buy yourself Pertronix kit 1244AP6.
That is an electronic (6V) ignition kit.
You can throw your points away!
You WILL LOVE electronic ignition, and it fits right inside your current distributor cap.

Why would you want him to waste 94$ and then have a non running tractor after he throws his points away??? Do you dislike the original poster?

Interesting!
There are DOZENS of reviewers on Amazon, and elsewhere, who obviously have not yet figured out that they have a "non running tractor".
Just must be more..... "Fake News!"

Or... You listed the part number for the side mount kit, not the correct front mount... 1247P6

The devil is in the details!

I have a 1951 8N (side mount).
I missed that the OP's is a 1949 model (front mount?).
My bad!

Thanks guys for the info. Soundguy, I'll set the points to .015 tomorrow, hopefully, and see what that does for me. Since no gasket on the coil, I'll cut one and put it on.
I'm still thinking about an in-line glass fuel filter.

Hey, save a few $$'s any inline filter (plastic automotive type, cheap) that fits the line will do the same, it'll let you see if any crud or water is getting by.

Very true about the plastic filter, but I don't mind spending a few extra $$ for a filter that looks better and can be cleaned over and over.

yes, a 49 is a front mount.

 

[Bartman1959]

I do have the metal line, but no problem cutting a few inches out of it.
