I have a 1949 Ferguson TO-20 it ran fine a couple of weeks ago and then all of a sudden it won't stay running. I have recently changed the spark plugs, plug wires, distributor cap, checked the timing, had the carb rebuilt, replaced the coil, removed the gas tank and cleaned it, replaced the fuel filter, removed the fuel filter to make sure it was flowing well without it. Drained the gas because I thought it was bad gas. It sounds like it just runs out of gas after 15 to 20 seconds and then i can usually start it up again after it dies and it does the same thing. Almost like it is using up the fuel that is in the carburetor and once that is gone it runs out.
I hope this all makes sense if not I will try and clarify thank you in advance for all your help. I am out of ideas.
