Hi Guys.
I have a Farmall H, that had sat and the gas had turned to gum in the carburetor, I took it apart and cleaned it, also had to replaced the float, it looks clean, the carburetor is getting gas, if I crank the engine, and then take the plugs out they are dry, but if I crank it long enough the carburetor floods, I have taken it apart three times now, and don't know what is wrong, any help you can give me would be great. Thank you.
Ken.
 
Take the plugs out & give each hole a couple of squirts of your favorite "rust-buster" such as PB or Marvel. Let her set a while, turn it over with plugs out to clear the excess out of the chambers, put the plugs back & give her a try. Sometimes my H looses compression if the rings dry out when she's been setting for a while. A shot of either might help before you put the plugs back in, but don't use too much either. (My $0.02 worth. jal-SD)
 
I bought an Oliver 66 one time that had gummed up like that. The float was still sticky when I put it back together evidently,and was bent just enough to be touching the edge of the inside of the carb so it wasn't floating up like it should. If the gas running out is the problem that you're asking about anyway.
 
Well did you ever put any thing in the cylinders before you tried to start it. I.E. like oil, ATF etc. If you didn't then you have a very good chance you have very low compression and if so yep you also get very poor suction so yep gas will not make it to the cylinders. I would put about a !/2 cup of ATF in all the cylinders and walk away from it. One other thing you can try that will also tell you more is pull the air tube off the carb and hold your hand over the carb to see how much suction it has. Shoot it might even start doing that. BTDT and had an Oliver 60 engine that did the same thing. I checked the compression and it was less then 25PSI in all cylinders. Filled them with ATF and let it sit. After a few days compression was up over 100PSI

I once saw a GI put either in the plugs of a Ford LTD when the fuel line iced up. It shot a flame out the tail pipe and launched the dip stick about 15 feet into the air.
