It seemed like a good idea at the time

I have a 51 Case DC with a loader on it. I bought it about 4 years ago because I live on an acreage and have some use for one. I bought it from a friend at work. He told me he had had problems with junk in the gas tank plugging the carburetor. He took out the sediment bowl, shut- off and tapped it with 1/4" npt and put in a sintered bronze air muffler from an air system. It would run pretty good and then die for no apparent reason. After a couple seconds, it would start fine. I have tried several inline filters and cleaned the carb out several times. Nothing seemed to help. I did a little more diagnosing and determined that it wasn't getting enough gas.
Since my FIL wants to borrow it and it is an 8 mile drive, I decided it needed to get it running better. I drained out the tank yesterday (which took forever) and took out the muffler. I put it back together and took it for a 2 mile run. It didn't miss a beat. Kick myself for waiting so long.
