I have a 1939 F-20. I can get it to fire if I put some gasoline in the cylinders but it doesn't seem to want to pick up fuel from the carb. I have removed the priming cup tubes in the cylinder head and put plugs in their place. Replaced plugs, wires, and bought a rebuilt mag. I had the fuel tank cleaned out, cleaned out the fuel lines, replaced the sediment bowl assembly, and had the carburetor rebuilt. The carburetor idle screw is set at 1 1/2 turns, the load screw is at 1 3/4 turns. Turned the load screw to 2 and then 2 1/2 turns and it didn't seem to help. When I choke the carb and crank it over I eventually get a stream of gasoline out of the elbow. If I take it off of choke the stream quits. I am not thrilled about the stream of fuel but I have seen other Farmall carburetors do the same thing. I have the distillate manifold on the tractor. Is there a possibility my manifold could have an internal crack possibly to the exhaust side? If I have someone crank the tractor I can feel a suction on the carburetor. If I remove the plugs they are dry. Just curious what everyone opinions are? Thanks.
