How do you set the timing on a 9n Ford tractor?
Re: timing the ford 9n series You can adjust the ignition timing by loosening the screw and pushing up or down on the screw to move the distributor plate. Some N series tractors have timing marks on the flywheel wheel that you can see through an opening in the clutch housing on the right side of the tractor.
How do you set the timing on a Ford 800 tractor?
Just turn engine till one valve is down, set the one that is left up, then turn till the set one is down, then set the opposite, do one cylinder at a time.
What is the point gap on a Ford 8N tractor?
The correct point gap for a front distributor is 0.015″. For a side distributor it is 0.025″.
How do you set the points on a Ford 8N tractor?
How to Set Points Gap on 8N Ford Tractor
- Put your tractor in neutral.
- Locate the 4 spark plugs on the engine.
- Put the flat head of your screwdriver between the spring and distributor housing.
- Lift up the cap of the distributor.
- Locate the rotor (look at the middle of your distributor for a black pointer).
- Press and hold the foot-starter button.
How do you know if your timing is too advanced?
Symptoms of incorrect ignition timing are poor fuel economy, sluggish acceleration, hard starting, backfiring, or “pinging” or “spark knock”. Too little spark advance will cause low power, bad gas mileage, backfiring, and poor performance. Too much advance will cause hard starting and pre-ignition.
How do you adjust timing without a timing light?
to set your base timing without a light, you just turn the motor over in it’s normal direction of rotation until the mark lines up with where you want it.. loosen up the distributor and hook up a spare spark plug to the #1 plug wire.. turn the distributor until it sparks.. tighten down the distributor..

To set the timing chain, follow this procedure… To set the camshaft, first of all, set the tappet clearance on number 8 valve (the valve at the back of the engine closest to the steering wheel) to 0.023in (when the cam and rocker is in its lowest position). Then set number 7 valve to 0.025in.
How does a tractor distributor work?
As the engine rotates, the distributor shaft cam turns until the high point on the cam causes the breaker points to separate suddenly. Instantaneously, when the points open (separate) current flow stops through the primary windings of the ignition coil. This causes the magnetic field to collapse around the coil.
How do Points work on a tractor?
It’s the same on a tractor. The points just open and close on a cam inside the distributor to transmit an electric charge to the sparkplug(s). Just as the points begin to open the coil releases it’s charge to whatever sparkplug is in firing position. The distributor handles that.
