M Farmall not starting

Posted by Barry Cole on January 08, 2008 at 09:19:42 from (168.68.129.127):

Very new to this tractor. Until last night it would start and run fine but I occasionally would see gas dripping out of the carb where the rubber line connects it to the air intake.
Last night it started, but I was having to feather the choke to keep it going and it quit running after about 10 -15 seconds and wouldn't start again. I thought it might have flooded, so I let it sit a while, pulled the rubber air intake line to air it out. No start. Not even a hit.
I pulled all the plugs and they weren't wet, but I cleaned them up and cranked her over. Had good spark on all the plugs.
Started thinking no fuel delivery. Gave it a light shot of starting fluid and it popped off and then quit. Pulled the fuel line off the sediment bowl and had fuel. Pulled the fuel line off at the carb and had fuel. So no fuel must be the problem??
Is it possible that the float will stick closed so the fuel is not getting into the carb?
Any other ideas?
Thanks, Barry
