My '57 Ford 800 runs for a few seconds and then dies. I assumed it was a fuel problem so I rebuilt the carb using the rebuild kit. Replaced hose that runs from tank to carb. Took off elbow at bottom of tank and cleaned out. Drained old fuel and put new fuel in. Put all back together.
Moment of truth... Tractor only runs when for a few seconds after I spray starting fluid in cylinders. (Suggesting fuel problems again!?) Fuel filter bowl is full of gas. Plugs seem dry after a cranks. If fuel is in bowl, what could be the problem? In other words, fuel seems to be getting to carb, but fuel doesn't seem to be getting from carb to plugs, or at least not in the right amount. Any suggestions? Troubleshooting? Please let me know. Thanks.
