1964 Ford 2000 fuel problem

Folks my Ford 2000 will run fine at times and others randomly just shut down as if it's run out gas but got plenty in tank. Today it happened while I was mowing a pasture. I let it sit for awhile then it crank right back up, run fine for a awhile then do it all over again. happened 3-4 times so I just gave up and parked it. The sediment bowl is inline with the carburetor and stays full. However it also appears I have another sediment bowl right below the fuel tank on right side (as your sitting the seat) with a shut off valve on it (will have to replace it as it leaks around the screw handle). there are a few rust spots in the tank but doesn't look to bad? I'm guessing either its flooding or I got something in my fuel line/carburetor? Any thoughts or advise?
 
Take it out and run it. When it dies jump off and check that you have a good blue white spark that jumps a 1/4 inch or more.
Next pull the carb drain plug and make sure you have a good steady flow of gas that will fill a pint jar in 3 minutes or so

Old- please explain "check that you have a good blue white spark that jumps a 1/4 inch or more.". Not sure what you mean or the how of it.
 
Well you have a distributor cap right??? So it has 5 nipples on it right?? The center one you pull and lay it next to the block and crank it over and watch for a spark that jumps a 1/4 inch gap or more then do that at each plug wire
 
ditto what old said... and if you have an un-repaired fuel leak.. DO be carfeull with a spark test.

In fact.. PLEASE fix the leak before you do ANYTHING else...
