[Farmall] Carburetor problems

[Glenn Karch]

Roger,

If those tractors sit around for a while, the float and needle valve get 
gummed up and don't want to work properly.  On my M Farmall, sometimes it 
will start fine and run until the fuel in the carb runs out.  Sometimes I 
have to tap on the carb bowl and the needle valve will drop open and then it 
starts and runs fine.  It may also start better if you only open the 
throttle a couple of notches.
