Allis WD stalling laugh of the day

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Finally got the WD going like it should. It would start right up and idle fine but when given more gas or put under load it would die. I cleaned(several times) the fuel line, sediment bowl, lower carb etc. and still had the same results. I finally decided I would do one more cleaning and if that didnt work I would get the carb rebuilt. This last time I removed the float and stuck above the needle was a little peice of trash. This little bit of trash was just enough to stall it out at operating speed and to throw me off of the problem. I just couldnt figure out why a tractor that seemed to be getting enough fuel would act up like it was. While I dont claim to be mechanical this is one lesson I wont soon forget!
