So my International 2544 (1970) has been acting up. Before I did anything to it, it would run fine, then shut off out of nowhere, then
start right back up. It would run for a while, before doing it again.
Then I took the carb off and cleaned it, and added a fuel filter after the fuel bowl. The tank is rusty, and tons of rust gets into the
fuel bowl. Also, the fuel bowl didn't have that little screen in the top. So I put the fuel filter in, but didnt replace the screen yet.
And I mowed corn stalks for 2-3 hours, and it worked fine with the freshly cleaned carb. Then it started acting up, It would only run if I
choked it. I ran this thing for an hour on half choke. So it was either getting too much air, or not enough fuel. When I put the carb
together I used a gasket that I cut out from a sheet. I did not use the gasket sealent. So im thinking maybe there is an Air leak in the
carb?
But the last few days it has been stalling out, and not running for a few minutes, and if you wait 2 minutes, it will run fine for 2
minutes, then conk out again. The tells me the carb is not filling up with fuel fast enough. How do I make that fill up faster? Maybe
its the fuel shut off sellonoid on the bottom of the carb?
