Tom, I found the same thing inside the tank that you did. The baffle had broken loose and was laying in there. Hope I can get by with leaving it in there. The tank had been repaired before I got the tractor so don't know how good of shape its in.

Gary, if you saw how that shop towel looked now, you'd have a conniption! :shock:

(Actually, I think I took a few pix of The Ol' Carb on the shop towel, while it was still pristine. :wink: )

I'll get The Ol' Carb boxed up and sent to you within the next day or two - it was on my agenda for Sunday, but then my riding lawnmower quit, which threw my schedule plumb off! :evil:

Regarding the sediment bowl: I was always careful to follow the instructions on the knob, you know: "Two Full Turns for Main Fuel Supply/Open All The Way For Reserve." Now that I see what shape it's in, I was lucky to get any fuel through it at all!

And yes, I'm going to clean/recoat or replace the fuel tank. I need to give it a closer inspection, but, as I mentioned in another thread, I think the baffle is loose, and I'm not sure how I'm going to handle it.

Best,

Tom
