Thanks guys for all your input. I found a "resident ford guy" in my neighborhood (never met before) and the moment I said Ford 3000 he said Holley Carb. I thought that was kind of eerie...Didn't have to many kind words for the holley carb. Anyway I have some concerns I think the main problem is the carb but I want to double check the fuel lines again. I'm glad you mentioned the nut on the carb (I was hoping to find a way to figure out how much gas was in the carb) so I will check that. The ford guy said to pull the fuel line going from the pump to the carb (or just before sediment bowl I guess...) and see how much gas shoots out. He said it should shoot out 3 to 4 inches... Any thoughts on this? If not the line is plugged. Ideally I would love to replace the line that loops up over the engine and goes into the sediment bowl but it's impossible to find I might have to see about building a replica.
I was thinking about getting the replacement zenith carb and after doing some digging 99% of the websites get the parts numbers wrong for the early 1965 fords. The early carbs are well over $100 more then then the ones for the 1968 and after. I was contemplating upgrading the linkage to something of a later 1968 model but maybe the cost would just equal out. Any thoughts on this. I'm contemplating buying the zenith carb as I need to get the tractor going soon I don't want my wife to think I just bought another huge project instead of a tractor...
As for the electrical I ordered an entire replacement harness for all the electrical on the tractor...There are alot of brittle wires on this thing...
