[Farmall] Fuel Supply Problem (Was Yellow jackets)

Fri Jul 21 14:16:48 PDT 2006

DM-
  Thanks....
  the fuel flow is dandy and the fuel quality is good.  I think that  the float is "stuck" or there is a bit of "junk" in the nozzle.  I  don't use the old girl too much but, of course, that does not mean that  I don't want it running correctly.
  I forgot to mention that I got "into it" with stinging critters TWICE  today.  In addition to the roof thing, I was changing a light bulb  in one of our driveway road lights and, in doing so, I put up a  swarm.  Twice lucky, I guess...no stings.

Before you pull the carb off, make sure you're getting adequate fuel TO the 
carb. Close the fuel valve, disconnect the fuel line from the strainer at 
the carb, crack the fuel valve and see what your getting. You may have a 
partial blockage in the tank, the fuel strainer or maybe even the fuel line.
