Need advise. Have 1952 8-N, nice shape tractor virtually all stock, and was all gone thru a few years back--engine work and new paint.. I put a new gas tank a few years ago, old one rusty inside. The sediment bowl is clear and clean--and fuel will readily flow out if I loosen the round knob on bottom of bowl. If I loosen the fuel line going into Carb, fuel always leaks and flows there too. YET---when I'm mowing, it often will starve out just like any vehicle will when out of gas. It will die. I loosen the fuel bowl, even though it is full of fuel, retighten, bingo--I'm going again---for awhile, then repeat Might be 10 minutes, might be 2 hours. My gas cap is the old one off other tank. I see there are "vented" and "unvented" . I suspect the cap is the problem--what is your best advise? Thanks to all.
