How to tell when my 400 is not running?

When you see me cutting and tedding my hay with the 706.
Fun but needed to take along a gas pump.

Looks like a nice crop of hay. Hal

Sure is.
That tedder makes one heck of a difference. It cuts at least one day off the drying.

I need to spend some quality time with my 400. She was just spitting and sputtering. Had to have the choke pulled all the way out just to keep it running.

When you need to use the choke is an indication the engine is starving for fuel. Pull the gas line at the carb and see if there's full stream of gas flowing. Use a clean container to catch the gas, too expensive to let it run on the ground. If there's good flow here, check behind
that tube fitting where your gas line connects for a screen. Could be plugged with crud. If it lacks power under load and that tractor has the main jet adjustment screw at the bottom of the carb. needs to be opened. Carb may need cleaning too. Hal
