[Farmall] Fuel Supply Problem (Was Yellow jackets)

[Charles D. McCombs II]

JM,

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.
