[Farmall] 1949 H Running Rough

[E. John Puckett]

We have been running the 10% ethanol in this are for many years, with no 
adverse effects other than it being hard on the older rubber fuel 
lines.  First I would try adjusting the carb, and then a new set of 
plugs and maybe wires before tearing into the carb.
