Spent part of the weekend cleaning up a gas tank on an Farmall H. Bought it couple years ago at a consignment sale. Ran good enough to sell it and it looked good on the outside. Carb was gunked, float stuck and fuel tank not good either but didn't realize it at the time. So after doing the carb last fall tried to fire it up this weekend.
