Tonight dad was gonna pugt feed out with the 165- It died about 50 feet out of the barn. I checked it for spark, that was good. Looked at the sediment bowl, and it looked cloudy. Followed a few suggestions on trouble shooting, and with a little patience I got it running again.

There was some water in the gas, and lots of stuff floating in it. Just got gas yesterday and he filled it about a hour later- Dirty gas I guess.

The screen in the sediment bowl was dirty, and torn, so I went to TSC to see if they had one. They had one I made work after cutting it down some (bowl gasket didn't seal). Still didn't flow out the drain plug in the carb, so I took the line apart at the carb. Flowed good from the line. Took the carb off and then the elbow. No screen in there and I didn't see anything so I just put it back together.

Fired right up then.... Not sure where the plug was, but the good news is that it runs fine now.

Back in the "Day",around 1964 I was Farming then and had an occasion to borrow the neighbors Farmall M. Drove it home all right but next day after putting Gas in it I worked it for about 3 hours on the Mower, Stopped to take a break and left it idling,all of a sudden it died. Went to restart it ,no luck,long story short,there was several Oats[no straw attached] floating around in the Gas Tank and when stopped one of them had drifted down and plugged the Tank outlet.Neighbor used it to grind feed with his Artsway Mill and the Oats must have got in then as he said he had run it out of Gas and put 5 Gallon Gas in from a Gas Can of questionable cleanliness.I put Gas in it from my overhead Tank so this pretty much eliminated the problem from my end.I saw one of the Oats in the sediment bowl so ,this sighting was what prompted me to check the Tractor Gas Tank.Neither one of us had ever had this experience before.
