Have a 2N and an IH 340. Both sit in the same shed and both have been excellent runners for years (the Ford requires periodic attention to the points and plugs, but the IH has been hands off since I got it running 6 years ago).
Anyway, they have both come down with sick carbs. The Ford floods very easy and is hard to start, but runs fine after you get it going except it won't idle.
The IH will start and run on ether, but will not run on fuel. I have verified I have fuel flow and even took the carb off to ensure the needle wasn't stuck. Blew out all of the passages and reinstalled it, but no luck. I put in fresh gas, made sure the intake tube and filter were clean and open and double checked the fuel flow, but it just won't pick up fuel from the float bowl. :(
They both have iron Marvel carbs
We have had a miserably wet spring (wettest on record). Could this have contributed? Can carb passages get plugged with rust while sitting? The IH has been sitting for 6 months, the Ford for about 3. Have never had trouble with these guys before, now they're both sick. Is it contagious? Better keep the mowers away from them...
