[Farmall] Farmall H Quits

[John Paur]

Is the vent on your fuel cap open?  If it's plugged and no air can get into
the fuel tank, a vacuum will be created after some of the fuel runs out of
the tank.  When the vacuum equals or exceeds the atmospheric pressure, no
more fuel will run out of the tank, your engine will starve and stop.
That's the first place I would look.  Try running it with the fuel cap off,
if it doesn't die then, you have solved the problem.  John

for a carb rebuild now and was wondering what else I could be looking at.
The tractor ran fine, the mag died and it was a few months before I replaced
it.  I am guessing that there is old gas residue in the carb and that is my
latest problem.  I did not have fuel stabalizer in it - but have put some in
since I changed the mag and the fuel bowl.
