Fuel issues

I have a 135 and when driving the fuel quits flowing to the
sediment bowl. I remove the bowl and blow with air and it
resumes. I have checked the tank for rust and dirt, found none. I
have installed an inline filter between the tank and the bowl
with no luck.
 
In gravity flow systems an in line filter causes more problems then it will ever fix. If the sediment bowl has the correct screen in it, it will filter better then an in line filter will and not as likely to clog up. If you can drain the tank then then pull the assembly out of the tank and make sure that the opening of it is not clogged with rust or some such thing and also on most there is a screen that should be there and they can clog up and cause that
 
Like old said,get rid of the filter.

I had one that wouldn't flow enough from the sediment bowl. I took it out of the bottom of the tank and there was a kernel of corn down in the stem of it. One tractor that I have,the neck comes up in the tank a little so it'll in effect,run out and I can still see gas in the bottom of the tank.
 
Next time it stops flowing, try taking the valve out of the tank, take it apart, clean and inspect.

Like Randy said, there may be something getting in the valve. If you take it out when it is not flowing, whatever is stopping it will come with it.
 
Kinda along the same line,I had a dump truck that every blue moon would just die and start right up,drove me nuts for months, could not find the problem.
Finally found that some one had put a sandwich bag in the saddle tank,clear so could not see it and every now and then it would plug the line.
 
When I was a kid,Dad had an Oliver 66 that died intermittently like that. Finally found a wooden pop cycle stick that had become soaked and laid on the bottom of the tank. Now and then it would slide over the hole.
 
About a year after I built my Farmall BA I was out cutting hay and it would die on me but start right back up. It did tha ta few times and I started looking for the problem. I found a leave has gotten in the tank some how and depending on things it would cover the inlet to the sediment bowl and stop gas flow. Took a bit of messing around with it to get that leave out but after I did no more problems
 
That's true!

I bought a cap for the Ferguson, ordered vented, box said vented, cap said vented...

It wasn't! Had to drill a hole in it.
 
My Ford 2000 did that. Couldn't see anything in the tank. I finally found a small piece of a leaf rolled up and stuck in the vertical passage of the sediment bowl.
 
Clean your tank and put one of these on top of your sediment bowl assembly.

Old you might look into one of these. I have put them in a number my tractors and stops anything floating around in tank from shutting down tractor.

Thanks D. I followed your advice with my cub. I fished it into the tank and stuck it in the to of the sediment bowl with one of those claw on a cable tools. It keeps the flaky rust out of the hole till I can siphon it out.
