Question about IH 544 fuel system and carburetor?

Posted by Eric Kaltenbach on June 18, 2010 at 11:25:24 from (65.215.14.1):

I have a IH 544 that I am having problems getting
to start after I had the motor rebuilt. The carburetor seems to be flooding its self out. The
tractor will not fire. I am getting good spark on
at the plugs and it does fire but won"t stay
running when I spray carburetor cleaner or starter
fluid in the intake. The governor is not hooked up
and I can flip the throttle on the carburetor but
it still won"t fire. I had the old carburetor
rebuilt and nothing. I just placed on a newer
carburetor a friend gave me and nothing. There is
an electric fuel pump hooked up to this and from
what I understand that is not original. I was told since this has a intake/exhaust manifold it was originally gravity or vacuum feed. I would like to
how to get the carburetor to stop flooding itself
out and if someone has pictures what the original
fuel system looked liked and how it worked? I have
included pictures of fuel system and carburetor.
Many thanks to all who can help me here. I have
been trying to get this tractor running for over a
year now. Also I would like to know if it is ok for me to cut the choke cable to fit properly? Even with old carburetor it was about 16 to long and most was shoved up under the dashboard.
