I have a TO-20 that has been a great little work horse until about a month ago. It isnt getting fuel to the cylinders. The Carburator has plent of fuel and has just been cleaned and rebuit. Does anyone have another suggestion?

I have great Spark, and the compression is good in all 4 cyl.

Check your intake and carb to intake gaskets. Check float level and needle for good flow. Blow out both jets. Checks points and spark plugs. Not a bad idea to change spark plugs, wires, cap and rotor if they are old and weather beaten. My dad bought a new TO-20 in 1951 for our cattle ranch. My brother and I grew up with the Fergie. We still have the old tractor after 52 years and it still runs well. Rebuilt engine about 20 years ago. It was my job on the ranch to plant aout 60 acres of grain for the cattle. Took along time discing with a 4.5 foot disc at 3 MPH. Ray

the fuel tank strainer inside the tank on the sediment bowl assembly could be plugged up you need a surprisingly good flow of fuel to the carb you can blow compressed air if you have it back thru the line also check the elbow strainer and needle and seat in the carb itself could be plugged with dirt I always put a car filter in the line very cheap and effective. Email me direct if you want. regards

You have fuel at the carb but not in the cylinders!!? I gather that when you pulled a plug after an attempted start, there was no fuel on it? When you checked the carb fuel bowl, by opening the plug at the bottom, fuel gushed out?Is the air cleaner clogged? Is the intake manifold leaking? Is your main jet adjusted properly? Is your throttle and governor linkage adjusted properly? Did you adjust the float level in the carb to specs? Is the carb needle valve/seat functioning properly? Hope this helps.
