[Farmall] Farmall H Question

[szabelsk at gdls.com]

No, gas was fresh. Actually when I pulled the carb to check it, I didn't 
get the governor linkage connected right and the engine ran full bore with 
no control. After I reinstalled the carb the second time it went back to 
no start. Gas isn't the issue.

You may have covered this one already and, if so, hit the delete button.

I have about 7 gas tractors here and at least 4 lawn mowers of various 
descriptions.  If I put the garbage government gas (ethanol added) in 
them, they are okay if I burn it immediately.  If I leave any of them 
setting for more than about 4 - 6 weeks, they will not go under any 
circumstance.  Bottom of the tank has nothing but water in it. If so, I 
drain it all out and put fresh ethanol free regular in. They start 
immediately!  Plus, they will start 6 months later if I ask them to. I 
have had this experience with Farmall A, B, C, and Super M as well as 
several JDs. They are parked in sheds so it isn't rain getting into them 
nor is it condensing in them.

I have drained more than a quart of pure water out of the bottom of a 
tank that started with 4 gallons of ethanol gas in it.
