cold weather start stop

Ellis Kinney · Jan 20, 2018

Northern Ky. temp. about 10 degrees last week. I started the Farmall M and it ran well for about 15 minutes. Sputtered and stopped, fuel problem. I re started it and it stopped again. When I reached over to open the gas cap it spewed air & fuel. The hole in the gas cap had frozen shut, evidently from condensation in the cap. This is one more thing to think about in cold weather. I held it in front of the work light for a couple of seconds and shook the water out of it. The tractor ran well the rest of the day. Ellis

Thanks for the tip. One more thing to check when things unexpectedly quit running.
