since you have sediment in the bowl, the carb probably has some trash in it. would hold off on rebuilding the carb until the tank is cleaned--lots of different ways to clean--some pricey, some time consuming..take your pick. after the tank is clean a rebuild is not a bad idea. lots of resources available. buy a good quality kit and take your time. some people luck out by tapping the carb with a hammer HANDLE. I'm usually not that lucky. make sure there isn't an add on inline filter that is clogged, if there is make sure it is supposed to be there, if not get rid of it. most aren't designed for gravity flow. sometimes the fuel line can be clogged as well. start at the tank and check every component, most of these old tractors have screens in the tank, sediment bowl and usually in the carb (not sure about the farmall, been over twenty years since I turned a wrench on one) these need to be cleaned regularly or they clog up as well, if you have rubber line it has been known to look wonderful on the outside but will be bad on the inside. sorry about the long post..hope you get it figured.
