I ve got an issue I want to run by you guys. I have a Jubilee and had many problems in the past with sediment clogging fuel line. (yes I know Im going all the way to the beginning but... never know info may help) I emptied tank and took off and got the sediment and rust out of the tank and reinstalled. at the time they had some aftermarket pepcock on the unit.... I installed it with a proper sediment bowl.
Now even after rebuilding the carb im finding as the tractor sits the carb bowl must leak out to emplty so when I want to use tractor I have to open up the fuel line and fill the carb bowl first so to speak. I notice this takes [u:947febbe74] long time!![/u:947febbe74] I realized the other day that the sediment bowl has 3 ports on it. the Line out to carb and the turn dial switch and a closed off hole with a cap screw installed on it. I opened that to see if it was clogged and if gas was flowing and by opening that I let air in so the gas would flow better. Since then I find that if I keep this not 100% tight to let air in / out of the system gas flows better.
I ordered a fuel line check valve to install to let air in but not gas to leak out of that third "port". is this usual. I had a 8n before this and didnt have an issue with gas flowing properly and sediment bowl was not "messed with" at all to allow gas to flow better. What am I not getting???/ or doing wrong. the other set up did need "air" inlet to allow to gas to flow??
Thank you for any input. I hope I explained this properly.
