I am finally getting the M going in the field but have only done a small amount of work. It has been converted to LP and runs well and starts easy after I put in new points, plugs, distributer cap and rotor. The problem is that within a few hours of running (maybe three 1/2 hours) I am nearly out of fuel. The tank is a 32 gallon tank and I just put in 28 gallons and It is all used up. I cannot find any external leak (no icing and no bubbles when checking with a soap solution). It doesn't appear to leak when the engine is not running either. Could someone explain how the regulator works? Could it have a leak and let a lot of excess fuel run through when running but not affect the running of the engine? I cannot afford to keep spending $37 dollars to run the tractor for 2 hours. Your help and expertise is greatly appreciated.
