Does your tractor have a Marvel carb? Does your carb have 2 fuel adjustments?
Some of the old marvel carbs, like the one on my 53 ford jubilee has 2 adjustments and a total of 3 screens. One screen is inside the tank attached to the sediment bowl. A second screen is directly above the sediment bowl. The third screen is hidden, it's on the brass elbow where the fuel line is attached to carb.
I'm not sure my 1950 framall has the third screen on carb elbow. However, the carb on farmall only has one fuel adjustment and it's acts backwards. Turn the jet all the way in for a rich fuel mix.
The larger jet on ford carb is the main jet. Turn it in and it goes lean. In summer I have to run my main jet at 2 1/2 turn out. In winter I have to run it 4 1/2 turns or it will die when governor open up. So I don't think it's very important how many turns it takes, as long as it runs as it should.
I got tired of paint flaking off inside ford tank, replaced it.
My farmall has a very clean tank. If I had a rusty tank, I would address the issue, new tank if I could get one. Or there are epoxy treatments if I couldn't buy a new tank.
