ford 2000

Andy McElhannon · Apr 22, 2009

I have a 1962 Ford 2000 gas tractor. It seems to stall or nearly stall after being run for 10 minutes or so. I have tried venting the gas cap, I have changed the ignition coil and spark plugs, the filter in the tank looks clean- I have not pulled it because it involves removing the tank-There is fuel going to the sediment bowl which looks clear. It may be a carb problem I guess. Any suggestions before I overhaul or replace the carb?
Thanks Andy

watch your fuelline to see if it is collapsing

Try moving the main jet back and forth a few times .
Mine does that sometimes, when I feel it losing power, I tweak the big screw on the carb.

My 900 Ford was doing that after it sat for a few weeks. Found the float to be sticking. Cleaned it & problem went away

Thanks for the suggestions. Hopefully I can get it to stay running. I love the look of these old tractors and like to work on them- just hate to have to keep working on them - my field is getting taller
