Got my 2N back from the guy who was buying it and never made a payment on it. He was getting divorced and I had to dash over and get it before it somehow became community property and it has sat unused for quite a while.

No surprise bad fuel in the tank and no spark so I drained the tank and put fresh fuel in. Pulled the plugs and the front mount distributor and cleaned up everything. Got it back together and it has spark and will fire but not start. When draining the tank I unscrewed the plug out of the bottom of the carb and it drained really slow. I am wondering if the float is stuck or something is clogging the system. I pulled the fuel line going to the carb and it flows well.

Is it normal for the carb to drain super-slow?
 
Bob,Remove the brass elbow at the carburetor and check the screen.Them hook up the line turn the shutoff on 2 turns ,remove the carb drain plug and catch in a pint jar.Flow should fill the jar in 2 minutes or less

You did the right thing, when ya went and got the 'N'!! Getting mixed up in a devorce settlement.......NASTY DEALINGS!!!!!

IF the 'N' sat for sometime, and it had 'Bad fuel'..... I would insure that CLEAN fuel is flowing from the tank to the carb...THEN take the carb off the manny, and break the carb down, for a really good cleaning.!!!!
This is what bad fuel, sitting in a carb, Can/will look like, after sitting/non-used for awhile.

Do the whole carb cleaning, and save yerself a lot of chasing around with it!!!!

This is the strainer that is on the inside of that brass elbow on your carb. That is likely the culprit. TSC carries them. My MF202 starting running very badly because that strainer was plugged up. Yes that same part is used on the Massey Ferguson.
