IH 350 Utility Carb Removal

Good afternoon folks. I used to be an active member on here a number of years ago but my tractor hasn't needed work in so many years that I have lost track of my old user id and password. Well my old tractor isn't very happy so I need some help. It would appear that the carb isn't happy. I can get it to run on ether so I know it is fine electrically and mechanically. I get lots of fuel to the top of the carb and the little brass filter up top is crystal clear. However, I don't get any fuel into the carb. I took the drain out of the bottom of the bowl and there isn't anything in there. I even took out the fuel regulating needle valve and I don't get any fuel there either. So lots of fuel at the top of the carb and nothing in the carb. At this point I want to get the carb off to either clean it out, rebuild it or replace it. The two main nuts holding it on are 9/16". I can easily get to the front nut but I cannot find any way to get a socket, box end or open end wrench on that back nut. The only option I see so far is to remove the intake manifold and I really don't want to do that just to fix the carb.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions on how to remove the carb.

If you have a better suggestion about solving my fuel problem I would be interested in those suggestions too.
 
There is a screen in the fitting at the point where the fuel line attaches. If this has been removed, the trash is likely above the seat for the float needle. If it is plugged up, the line and sediment bowl might need purging. Jim
 
you just have to remodel a 9/16's wrench and it works, no need to remove manifold unless replacing gasket.
 
JANicholson - that screen is the filter that I was referring to, in the OP. It is nice and clean.

Rustred - I will grab a couple of cheap 9/16" open end wrenches and grind them down to allow me to get in there.

Thanks to both of you for the help.
 
Do a little heating, bending and grinding on an old wrench.
