Farmall M carb trouble

Anonymous-0 · Jun 27, 2010

I have a 1949 M that was restored October, 2009 and have had trouble with the carburator building up condensation between carb and where it bolts to exhaust manifold. Runs good idling until it runs a while. Hope to hear some suggestions.

Under certain conditions of ambient temperature and relative humidity, condensation buildup between the carb and manifold is completely normal. It shouldn't engine affect operation - don't be concerned about it!

Thanks Bob. Apppreciate the info.

Sure thing!

Incidentally the only time condensation CAN cause a problem is when the temperature's between about 35 and 50 and the humidity is very high. This can result in condensation freezing and building up inside carb passages (carb icing). Icing can then make the engine run rough and even stall it until heat from the manifold reaches the carb and melts the ice.
