Still working on the 312-8 Magnum

Had a miss I've try to fix. Changed the plug , cleaned the carburetor . When I put the carburetor back on couldn't get it to start. Checked the fuel pump would not pump. Don't know how it ran before, but it did. took the fuel pump apart and found this.

Thought I had it fixed when I installed the old pump off a wore out 301.

Still the same miss still there. Pulled the carburetor back off and check the valve clearance. The exhaust was fine .018 right between the .017 / .019.

The intake was between .004 and .005 adjusted it to .009 right between the .008/ .010. Made a lap around the property the miss was gone.

It won't never be a trailer queen, but it looks and runs a lot better.

Good news all around Don! I too really like those gun metal gray wheels. You've done a great job of finishing the (father/son) restoration work that was started on it ealier. I'd enjoy seeing more pics of the tractor if you have time to post them here.
