[Farmall] Super C Problem

[john hall]

I would install an in-line fuel filter. They do a much better job than what 
the sediment bowl does, should cost less than $10. Also check the filter on 
the inlet elbow in the carb as was suggested in another post. Since the 
problem has persisted for a couple years I doubt it is water in the fuel, 
but that is a possibility. I've found that pulling the fuel tanks off these 
older tractors and giving it a good cleaning certainly won't hurt.
