Hi, I have a 1939 allis chalmers b that is idling fine, but as I start driving it it wants choke to run. The ajustment screw is nit changing anything, (im running it on a zenith carb full metal needle) and the other day when I went to start it it kept stalling after moving 10 feet, but would restart fine. A few days later it idled for about 15 minutes great, then went to move it and stalled right out. Any ideas or thoughts? Thank you.

How old is the fuel? When was the last time you cleaned the carburetor?

hi, sounds like there is a blockage in the fuel line due to dirt  either floating around in the tank , fuel line , or the screen in the fuel bowl. I have had that happen in the past on my 48 b. I would take the fuel line off at the carb see if the fuel flows freely ,  if not work towards the tank a section at a time till you get a free flowing line .
