1943 ar

[bobgrimes]

My AR has been running great until today. I started it as usual and it ran for about a minute and started to quit. I choked it and it ran. As it got hotter I couldn't get it to run without using about 1/3 choke. I figure this is a fuel problem but would welcome some suggestions as to trouble shooting. thanks,

Some trash from the tank made its way to the idle/load passageway???
Pull the carb and clean it?

I have been seeing a lot of issues with fuel tanks and lines/sediment bowls plugging which will cut fuel supply off. Years of rusty fuel barrels and fuel cans seem to catch up with these tractors after awhile. Take the line off the carb and turn the fuel on. It should fill up the line as it flows out. A trickle is not enough and you have to check your filter, sediment bowl, or your tank outlet. If you have good flow there, then you will have to get into your carb. Could be water or dirt. Dont forget to check the screen filter at the inlet of the carb. Hopefully you get to the bottom of it!

My neighbor has a 1937 John Deere AR. This tractor was bought brand new by his Father in Law. Still in the Family. Has been restored and runs great

Here is mine. Never uploaded a picture so hope it can be seen. I have narrowed the problem to gas flow from the bowl. Very weak so I believe the filter there is clogged.
