[Farmall] 1949 H Running Rough

[john hall]

If the Sea Foam didn't help and you can't adjust it, put in a kit. Be sure 
to clean all the internal passages by running  a wire thru them. If you know 
a shop that has a bucket of carb cleaner, see if they would soak it for you. 
Obviously ignition, timing, and valve clearance can cause it to run bad as 
well.
