I have a G that I bought that hadn't run since the 90's. Replaced points, cap, rotor, condenser, plugs and wires. New 12v coil as I am going to convert to 12v. Running off a fully charged 12v battery. No charging system. Gas tank is clean and I have good flow to the carb. Ran the gas from the tank through a white rag as a filter and no debris. Cleaned the carb. Spark to all plugs. It was running really well. Power washed it because I needed to do some brake work on it. Now it won't start or run. I took the carb off and cleaned it again and it ran. Now it sputters and coughs dirty grey smoke. It sputters for about 5 seconds and quits. The carb does need a new needle and seat because I don't think the float shuts off the gas. Float is fine. I did check the cap and rotor for moisture. Any help greatly appreciated. What am I missing? ------------- Everything is impossible until someone does it! WD45-trip loader 1947 c w/woods belly mower, 1939 B, #3 sickle mower 1944 B, 2 1948 G's.

Fred they came from Brillman's. Here is what I did today. I pulled the condenser and points. I had another set for a different tractor so I thought I would swap them out. Put in another condenser, looked at the old points and they really looked ok. Cleaned them up put them in. Fired right up. I am leaning towards a bad condenser. Hope this one works.

My guess is when you power washed it, you either have some moisture somewhere or you have damaged a wire with the power washer that is grounding out somewhere. I'm not much of a fan of WD-40, but it is the best thing I have found for drying the inside of a damp distributor.
