Hugh MacKay said: (quoted from post at 02:41:32 02/05/08) Dave: In addition to what Hal has said, think about the possibility of ice in the carb. My 130 has done this 3 or 4 times this winter. Had the carb off twice couldn't find anything wrong. It's not coil as it fires right up within seconds. Acts as though fuel supply is restricted. I also notice I'm getting a slow buildup of water in the sediment bowl. Finally I dumped in 1/4 cup of methyl hydrate, cured it almost instantly. It's happened twice since and each time methyl hydrate cured it very quickly. Somewhere, I'm getting water, we are having a lot of fluctuation in temperatures, above and below freezing, I'm thinking condensation is my problem.
May be since oil hit $100./ barrel earlier my refinery has increased the volume of water in the gas to make more money.
Heard a story years ago, farmer trying to squeak through some hard times, tried mixing sawdust with his horse feed. He said it worked well at low percentages of sawdust, but once he got to 40% the horse died. I'm thinking I've got .01% water, I guess an offset Farmall, just a bit more sensitive than the horse, however the Farmall will come back to life, if one corrects it's feed.

Thanks Hal and Hugh, I'll do it. Getting a good storm right now and will need it tomorrow. What is methyl hydrate? I've always used HEET brand or STABIL as a gas dryer, same stuff? Yeah, we had a couple of nice days after a 2 week freeze, then freeze, then warm. I bet I have the same problem. Also, I ordered my free gas cap, hope it arrives soon. Thanks again guys.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
