Trying to figure out why my 1966 Farmall 140 won't start. Have checked fuel flow to the carb and through carb, checked ignition and have good spark along with good voltage and a strong new battery. Tractor wasn't used last year but was ran a few times and is used as my belly mower tractor. It appears I don't have good suction to draw fuel into the cylinders. Removed a plug after numerous attempts to start and it was dry with no evidence of fuel. Tractor is stored inside a closed building and out of the weather. Checked all visible things for cracks and leaks but don't see any as an issue. Thought maybe the gas is not high enough in the carb might be a problem to investigate. Plan to remove carb tomorrow and take a look there next. Would like to know the float setting and is it measured with a gasket in place or without? Need to do a compression check but this has always been a really nice running and easy starting tractor until now. Thanks for your comments or suggestions, Hal.
