I picked up a 1943 H about a month ago that had been sitting outside and unused for about 15 years. Changed the plugs, oil, filters, as well as cleaning the fuel tank. Tractor ran decent for a 30 minutes and died. After disassembling the carburetor, I discovered that it was full of sand on the air side. Cleaned it out, put it back on, and now I am afraid of what I am seeing. There is now a small amount of smoke coming out of the blow-by tube. Before this point, I changed out the oil in the bath (which was full of junk), and added new oil. I concluded that the air breather assembly must have a mud dobbers nest in it, so I took it off and bingo, my suspicion was confirmed. Looks like this is a sealed unit with screen in the bottom, so do any of you have a suggestion for cleaning the nests out of it? I feel terrible that this happened, now thinking that my engine has sand in it.
Any help would be much appreciated.
