I have a 1950 H that I just bought over the weekend. It ran fine from the previous owners, onto the trailer, got it home, unloaded it and parked it. Yesterday I fired it up, moved it about 10 feet and it died. I pushed it back up by the garage, and noticed there was gas leaking out of the carb pretty heavily, so I thought maybe the float had stuck open and flooded it out. I also noticed while pulling the carb off, the fan belt (that turns the waterpump, which turns the generator) had let go, and broke. So I ran to my local Agri-parts store, and grabbed two new belts, and a carb gasket kit to put the carb back together. Well I rebuild the carb, put it back on, and decided to try to fire it up before putting the belts on, but it wont start. It just cranks over and over. The guy next door said he thinks the belt needs to be on it to spin the generator, but I have no idea, electrical system stuff isn't my strong point, but I didnt have time to put them on before having to come here to work, so I'm just curious if that could be the reason as to why it wont fire now.
Also, what's the easiest way to put the new belts on? Looks like a PITA!
