Good evening.
I am restoring an old H. I sent my Carb to be rebuilt to a Carb shop. His instructions said you have to install an in-line fuel filter in order for the warranty to be good. I cut out a section on the OEM steel fuel line and installed a simple filter with rubber hose ends and clamps in the middle of the steel line. (copy attached). After having the tractor running several times over a period of 30 days, one day it flooded the cylinders and crankcase with gas. Before it flooded, it had started and when it started to die, I choked it heavily. Looking back, perhaps that caused it to flood. I sent the carb back to the shop and he said that I didn't have enough drop in the fuel line and that the filter needed to be up under the tank. He said nothing was wrong with the carb so he sent it back after charging me another fee. My questions are:
1. Since there is only a few inches of drop from the sediment bowl to the carb; how do you install a fuel line with an in-line filter that goes straight down from the tank?
2. Now that I have the carb back, I can't seem to get fuel to run through my patched up steel line with the filter. Should I go back to a regular line without a filter? Can I use copper?
Thank you.
