| Our Antique club advertises our show by going in many parades, This year we took the 1938 Allis "A" with a newly restored 706 Allis running gear, and new deck, 2 flags on the back board bunting on the sides, a few bails fresh hay 2 lawn chairs for my wife and me, a minature Dachshund on her lap, 2 Allis peddle tractors straped to the deck with the half bales in their wagons our 5 & 6 yr old granddaughters driving. Life is GOOD!!! |

I wanted to take my 47 model C to our parade, however with the gravity fed carb it doesn't like to go uphill. My daughters pre-school teacher wanted me to pull their float, but we have a pretty steep hill to go up and I couldn't back up the hill with the float attached.
any Ideas how to overcome this problem?

Wolf, Better check your fuel delivery to the carb. You shouldn't have any problems pulling a hill as long as you have enough fuel in the tank to cover the sediment bulb inlet.... mailto:Steve@B&B - Steve@B&B |
