Russ and cowman.
I finished rebuilding the carburetor on my T20. Installed new spark plugs(autolite). New plug wires, stainless steel. New fuel filters. Check the valve settings.
And I got it started without having to pull it.
Runs very well for about two minutes. It backfires and sputters then stops. If I let it sit for a minute, then prime it. It will start the first crank. Only to stop a couple minutes later. Before I rebuilt the carburetor. I had gas dripping out, of the carburetor. Now, I have none dripping.
Can I assume that I have a fuel flow problem?
The tractor sound great, when it is running. No missing or sputtering, until just before it quits.
If I use the choke when it sounds like it's quitting, it only backfires worse than quits.
When it is running if I put my hand over the air intake and block off the air. The tractor will backfire and quit.
Okay guys. Any suggestions.
Thanks a lot for all you have given me, it was a great help.

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
