Hi, I just finished restoring my 1937 Farmall F12. It is hard to start, even if it has been running earlier and it keeps stalling and then won't start. The timing is right on, just a hair after TDC and it is getting fuel, with a rebuilt fuel pump, and good spark with new plugs which are the right kind. I did put in a new float which i was thinking may be the problem but i left it at the same setting as the old float was. I did get it to start after it stalled today but it immediately flooded itself and stalled again. The gas tank has been cleaned but is still a bit dirty so what im trying to get at is what is the most likely problem before i begin tearing it apart again? The filter before the pump seems to be taking out any dirt and it was running and driving just a bit rough before it stalled. For some reason the pump seems to pump a lot of gas in just one stroke but I've been told its normal. I dried the plugs and cylinders and it started but then stalled again. It was running fine for about 5 minutes but this was the first time using it with the gas tank. Thanks for any thoughts and suggestions.
