Oliver 1755 Gas

[agonair]

I have an Oliver 1755 gas. The fuel delivery system has been cobbled up. It will run, but does not get enough fuel to do anything. The carb has been rebuilt.
It has a fuel pump like the diesel on the right side. The metal gas line was unhooked and in it's place is a rubber line with a large inline filter. The tank has some debris in it.
I have several Olivers. Did the late gas tractors have a fuel pump? I thought they were all gravity feed.
I have been told the large plastic in line filters are not the best as I should have a metal filter.

Your thoughts?

I'm no expert on it, but is the filter before or after the fuel pump. I think those filters are made to push fuel through, not suck it through, that's the only reason I ask.

Sounds like your fuel shutoff valve in the bottom of the tank has gunk in it. In

Late models had the fuel pumps

Can you temporarily hook up a tank that sits up high and see if there is a difference? That would solve some questions.

Electric fuel pumps aren't that expensive, put one on and see if it helps

I would do this first to verify there's nothing going on with the carburetor.
