My neighbor has a Farmall C (maybe an A) that is a Wilde Bros Hi-lo conversion. I am having trouble getting it to run somewhat descent. This tractor spent several years setting abandoned in a field before my neighbor got it. The governor does not appear to work and I don't think the vacuum advance even exists anymore. This tractor is held together with baling wire, duct tape and a prayer and the budget for parts is non-existent. The tractor will start and idle somewhat okay but seems starved for fuel. It will run for a minute or so and then start to shut down. If you choke it it will come back to life for 15-20 seconds then shut down again. There appears to be enough fuel coming from the tank but I don't know about the float level. Last night I cleaned the points and plugs and removed the carb, cleaned up the barrel and needle valve. There was a lot of gunk in the bottom of the bowl. I did not want to split the carb because I was sure that I would then need a gasket kit to get it back together again. This engine has a lot of blow by and two of the spark plugs has the extenders on them to help keep them from fouling out.
Anybody out there have any ideas, also what should the points be gapped at. Thanks Keith

Still another is the alternator. No doubt using the original generator keeps the tractor pure, but for thos
