Fuel problem

Rodeo man · Aug 2, 2014

I recently put a new sedement bulb, and fuel line on my 8n ford. It ran great for about 3 weeks. Now it will run fine for about 15 minutes, and the. Act like it's starved for fuel. It has good flow at the sedement bulb, and at the fuel line where it attaches to the carb. Also none of the screens are stopped up. I'm not much a mechanic, but I'm stumped. If you let it sit a while, when you come back to it, it'll run fine again for 15 minutes.

Try removing the gas cap. If it runs well then the tank vent is clogged. If that does not fix it try pulling the carb drain plug and let it flow for 3 minutes or so. You should get a good steady flow if not you have something clogging up the system

try cleaning the carb or blowing out the gas line

I've been pressed for time lately. I started a thread down on the N board, and those guys think its a lack of fire not fuel. Evidently you gotta be a better mechanic than me to own antique tractors. Maybe this weekend I'll get to try something's. I'm a better "parts changer" than mechanic.
