[AT] Cockshutt 40 (Its the gas)

[Ralph Goff]

Made a little more progress in diagnosing the problem on my Cockshutt 40. We
checked out the fuel flow from the tank again last night and this time it
was barely flowing. Unfortunately by this time we already had the carburetor
apart but I guess it needed work anyway.
Today I drained the fuel tank and removed the sediment bowl holder. Right at
the shut off valve there was quite a build up of sludge and what might have
been a kernel of wheat at one time. It was hard to identify by the time I
had dug it out of there. Hopefully I will have the new carb gasket made and
re-assembled by tomorrow and able to put it all back together. Need to make
a new hinge pin for the float too as the old one is badly worn.
