Morning everyone,
I was off Monday and decided to see if I could try and figure out the why my tractor (67 Gas Deluxe w/ Z145) would idle well but cut out at Higher RPM's.
I was able to get the choke all the way in at times but generally I had to leave it halfway out and the throttle lever halfway as well. The carburetor's main needle was set at the manual 1 1/2 turns out.
I got into my field and as I was heading home the tractor cut out and I started to do the idiot checklist. I had an extra condenser so I replaced it, cleaned the sediment bowl, there was some slight crud where the gas flows into the bowl from the tank, removed that and it seemed to run better. At times the RPM's on the tachometer seemed surge to a max of 2200RPM and settle down to 1100-1500 RPMs.
There were two things I did notice, the throttle lever did seem to move by itself. I'm about to order the cork and thrust washer and replace them, the other was that when I re-installed the sediment bowl, I had to let the bowl hang and fill with gas and then tighten the knob. Does this mean that my gas cap is faulty and potentially restricting gas flow?
Here is also some video shot with my phone demonstrating what it's doing.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
