53 golden Jubilee stalling

Hi, its me again,
Been out farting around with this, Think problem is originating from sediment bowl/bottom of fuel tank. after i have taken off the Bowl and went to screw it back on and before the bowl totally filled up i could see the stream of fuel slow down and almost stop the tighter i screwed the bowl on the slower the fuel runs.
How does the bowl & assembly attatch to the tank? and how does that assy work?
Thanks Gord

That may not mean anything, unless you have the plug out of the bottom of the carb.

If the carb is full of gas, and the float has the needle valve shut, and you put the bowl back on, at that point it is a closed system, until the float drops, and allows gas to enter the carb.

A very common question.

Do this and you will understand what is going on. Take a glass of soda beer water what ever you like to drink. Then take a straw and put your finger over the end of it and put it in your glass. The straw will not fill up with the fluid unless you remove your finger. Works the same way on the sediment bowl and it normal and isn't your problem unless the tank has a lot of dirt.rust in it. When you put the sediment bowl back on like you did your have air in the line and if the carb is full of gas the float stops the flow of gas into the sediment bowl. Start your tractor and watch what happen. Your sediment bowl will fill pretty soon after the engine starts unless you also have an in line fuel filter and there trouble most of the time
