Working on a 966, was a real clean tractor, has sat outside without starting for 7 or 8 years, some of them without the fuel cap or dipstick. Cleaned the tank and the oil pan out. New fuel filters, felt like it primed up right, pushing fuel out of the bleeder real nice. Do have a leak in the return line where it is clamped to the block, close to the T with the nozzles and the line to the tank. Figured it should run even with it leaking. Would not hit or smoke at all. Loosened the lines on the nozzles and have fuel to all of them, but it seems like it took an awful lot of pumping and cranking, and maybe not an awful lot of flow. Fires right off on a whiff of ether, that's it. Noticed that a little fuel was dripping down from the inside of the fuel pump. If you pump the primer it will squirt a tiny stream out about 1/8th below the elbow for the return fuel, squirts right towards the block. After further inspection there is also a crack in the housing, opposite the leak, on the other side of the return elbow that runs clear up to the steel distributer head. Is this almost certainly related to my no start condition? Was running fine when they shut it off.

It wasn't to relive memories of Grampa, Dad or myself out on the back 40 nursing the Farmall pulling too many b
