For all of you that responded to my post many weeks back about our trusted family member Bertha with the fuel problem. Well after many weeks of setting in the garage working in the cold, and yes setting up the space heater on occasion, TJ finally figured it out. Three slow drains of the tanks drip by drip through the fuel line. Pulling the bowel assembly off three times. Putting the original 1939 back on after rebuilding it. It finally came to me as I was sitting on the floor of the garage what could it be. As the fuel line was hanging loose. I thread it over the engine and took it to the air compressor. Tried to blow air threw it. Nothing. Tried to blow through it myself. With great difficulty. I looked at it and it was completely plaqued shut. At the fuel tank just a pin hole. At the carb end slightly larger. Just like a artery after eight years the line just plaqued shut. Now why did I not think to look at that. So no wire was going to work. Moment of clarity. Into the house. Winter, into the wood stove, perfect bed of coals awaited. Little bit of work over the course of an hour and back on. Bertha is a new tractor. Never ran so well. No back fires, power, she's a new Ford.
