46' ford 2n
 
Gets hot and the horse power cuts out and motor stalls. Not mine. Lookin to restore it. Is straight other than the HP/ motor issue. Thoughts?

cooling system is a minor fix....prolly a half clogged rad.

MOhillbilly 10-26-2011 06:25 PM

It's free. If I can get it spinning with a new coil or switch its a steal.

It runs then stalls. Won't run for shit then refires. I asked if it was overheating and the guy said he didn't think so.

could be fuel pump or sending unit...

Check to see if the Distributor is bolted down. Common issue, the bracket that holds it down breaks loose and the damn thing jumps timing. That would cause the problem.

Definately could be the coil. When some of them go bad they fire fine when cold but then get hot start misfiring then stop.

Usually old oil filled ones which that should be.

Cheap part to replace to check.

I've seen that with cracked coils or distributors in old tractors, sometimes vapor lock when it's hot does the same thing.

All I know is when I was at your house you were rebuilding a van and parts were everywhere. I remember thinking this guy is a guru when it comes to engines. If we lived in the same town I would drive you nuts everytime I had truck or car trouble~
