TO35 is not getting enough gas, or so it seems, as after 10 minutes it starts missing and will die unless I leave the choke open. Once it dies, after about 10 min. it is good to go but the same thing starts all over again.
Took out the sediment bowl from the gas tank, flushing the tank in the process and both the tank and sediment bowl filter had debris, so cleaned them out. Put sediment bowl back and the gas line still trickled out very slowly when I detached the line from the carburetor. While fiddling with it, blowing the line, etc, noticed the bowl leaking and while tightening it up, the bail/clip snapped in two while tightening it down with the knurled knob.
Picked up another bowl assembly at the local farm supply shop and low and behold, the sediment bowl bail/clip snapped again while hand tightening it with the knurled knob! Seems to be an inferior design at play with these aftermarket sediment bowl clips, which are some wire stamped flat so the knurled knob will slip over it.
So some questions come to mind: 1) anyone know if the sediment bowls sold through yesterday's tractors are any better, and if not, any leads on getting better clips? 2) some folks seem to have replaced the sediment bowl with a shutoff and an inline filter--has that worked out, or should I keep fiddling with sediment bowls, or both?
Thanks in advance on your ponderings and sharing....
