My Super C had been setting up for a while when i bought it last fall, so I hooked it to a shredder and cut a 100 acres of cotton stalks to see if there were any problems. I think the old gasoline in the tank was tending to jel or there was trash. Every time the engin would start to cut out, I would drain the carburator bowl. It would run for a while and then cut out again. After repeating the process about a half dozen times over two tanks of gas, it has stopped. Clogged fuel lines, water in the gas, and trash in the carburator bowl was a constant issue when we used the old farmalls every day.

Disconnect the fuel line at the carb with good line wrenches so as not to abuse the hex. Place the end of the line in a coffe can and open the valve. If a steady stream bigger than a coffe stir stick comes out for long enough to almost fill the can, the issue is in the carb body. If it only trickels out, there are four places to work on.
The screen at the fitting may be plugged.
The line may be rusted/plugged.
The sediment bowl and screen above it may be plugged.
The fitting in the tank above the bowl may be plugged. Compressed air, Carb cleaner, time and effort will get it cleared up. JimN

Try it with the gas cap loose. The vent may be plugged. Let us know if it helps.

A lot of working on these tractors involves, "Try something and see if it fixes the problem," instead of standing around scratching your head trying to scientifically analyze the problem.

So you think it's a carb problem? Well then, tear into the carburetor, clean it up, install a rebuild kit. Chances are your carburetor needs a good cleaning anyway, and you'll learn a bunch about how carburetors work, so it won't be time or money wasted.

I agree with you. It does sound like the carburetor. In particular, it sounds like a sticky needle valve that is not opening to let more gas into the bowl.

A couple of tips:
1. Get an IH rebuild kit. I've heard the off-brand ones are horrible.
2. The new needle will be rubber-tipped. You need to seat the new needle by tapping it into its base. A small flat screwdriver will wiggle the needle loose again. If the rubber tip now has a nice even indentation all the way around, it's good. Otherwise, seat it again.

Christie, it may well be the carb. Could also be something in the gas tank blocking the hole after a little gas draws through.

All good advice; but especially:

"with good line wrenches so as not to abuse the hex."

Thou hast said the thing which should be said.
