[Farmall] carb flooding

[Mike Sloane]

Three other possibilities: gasket edge catching on the float, float 
sticking (for whatever reason) to the side of the bowl, small piece of 
crud from the tank caught in the needle valve. The reason I mention them 
is because I have had them all at different times. I have also heard of 
folks encountering defective/wrong float valves but have not had that 
problem myself.

The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of 
those who have much, it is whether we provide enough for those who have 
too little. -Franklin D. Roosevelt, 32nd US President (1882-1945)
