Hi,
I picked up a 1951 TO-20 over the winter. My first tractor. I think it was a pretty nice barn find, in good condition, stored inside. It has been sitting for probably 10 years. I put a new 6 volt battery in, cleaned the points and plugs and she started up great. I hhave been starting and idling it in my garage all winter, couldn't drive it because of snow piles. So i got it out today, pulled the choke and it started right up. When i started to drive it the engine started to pulse and then stall., Started right back up again and did same thing, stalled. I drove tractor holding choke out and it didn't drive great but got me back to garage. I suspect the carb is dirty/clogged but before tearing into it should i do any other checks first?
and if it is the carb are there any do's and don'ts to be aware of?
any tricks to removal and disasembly?
Thanks
