Back of the shed today. I was gone for one lousy day and the place is all tore up with ground hogs. They are under the head for the MF swather and I am worried about the canvas. I flooded the holes and collapsed them. Nothing came out so I assume they were feasting on field corn at the time.
Jump ahead. I want to start the swather and raise the head. I cannot move it because it is in the back of the shed and buried in stuff I want to sell but I can at least raise the head. But it has been sitting there about four years. This was not intended, just happened. The battery is strong surprisingly. The coil had great spark and same at the plugs. So I have to get the last of the fuel out of the system and refill it. Fuel tank is the lowest point in the system and this means it must have a fuel pump. I can pull the fuel line and drain everything except the carb float bowl (probably dry). I have no experience with fuel pumps. When I put the new gas in do I have to prime anything or ??????
Engine is a 4 cylinder chevy. Originally in a Chevette I am told. It ran good last time I did oats. Anything else, just ask.
