Hi Folks,

New battery, rebuilt the carburetor and set according to instructions. New gaskets and tightened the manifold. If I pull the plugs and put gas directly in the cylinders it will run until the gas is burned. Fuel line is new with no obstructions.

I know I am not getting gas but why?

Randy

Are you sure the new manifold gaskets are not out of position?
Did you get the governor rod tab in the notch for the throttle plate? Be sure to re-synchronize your governor since the manifold and carb have been removed.

You are experimenting the right way. Now that it starts with gas in the cylinders, try putting a few drops into the carb, closing the choke so it stays there, then starting it. If it runs then too, you know the problem is between the carb and the tank.

Then, make sure gas runs out of the carb inlet pipe when disconnected. If it does, the carb is the problem, if not, the tank or shutoff valve is the problem.

It's in the carb or there is a fuel shut off valve. I have taken a carb apart and blew it out 3 times before my Dad showed up and turned on the valve.

Are the pluggs wet or dry when you take them out? If dry then no fuel is the problem. Are the valves opening AND closing. If the intake valve(s)don't open no fuel gets in but if you have stuck exhaust vaves stuck open or some other vacuum leak (head gasket) you won't take in fuel either. Also, you let air in when you take out the pluggs to "prime" the cylendars. Maybe your air intake system is plugged. Is this tractor being started for the first time in a long time or did this problem arise during normal use? Critters like to build nests in things over the winter. Gas goes stale and gets water in it also, maybe you need to drain and refill the gas tank. Oh, and the other are right, the float/needle valve thing can be very tricky. Good luck. Dave.

Randy , it sounds like the float is too high and has not allowed fuel to enter into the bowl to a level that will allow it to run. Sometimes the floats catch on the sides of the bowl, you need to take the bottom of the bowl off and check float clearance..my guess...Mike in Exeter Ontario
