Ok to start off I'm not mechanically inclined in any sense. I have my dad's old Farmall M and this spring I had trouble starting it. My nephew and I replaced all the wiring in it because there was a short somewhere that was draining the battery. We bybassed the light switch and hooked directly to the ampmeter. My nephew (Who was a mechanic in the Army did adjust the jet screws on the carburetor after we completed the rewiring) After that the tractor started great....for about 2 weeks. I had trouble getting it started about 3 days ago but it did start. Today nothing. I thought maybe the jet screws were off so I adjusted to factory settings that I read about on this board. I get alot of gas dripping out of the bottom of the carburetor when I try to start it. I pulled the plugs and noted they were completely dry. When I turn the tractor over I get no smoke from the exhaust so it seems to me the cylinders are getting no gas. The only thing that I had done during the time that it ran great and now was I put in some fresh gas. I called my nephew and he said it might be vapor locked. He suggested I disconnect the gas line that enters the engine block and try to bleed the air out of it. The only tube I saw was the "breather" tube that runs from the carburetor-governor linkage to the block. When I disconnected this, no gas came out at this connection. Any Ideas what to do next? Thank You!

A copse of wildbreaking silver birch and oak trees surround the top si
