I have a 1952 International. It seems to start, then stalls out when going up a hill or putting any pressure on the engine. I have cleaned the carb, and gas tank and put an online gas filter. I"m wondering what the problem might be.
Any advice is appreciated.

I would remove that inline fuel filter if it's not for a gravity fed system. Most are used with a fuel pump. You need to make sure it's a fuel problem when it quits. It could be a weak coil causing the problem when it gets warm.

To rule out the coil pull one the plug wires asap
when the engine quits and see if you still have fire to the plugs. Hal
PS: You may need to open the main jet adjusting screw near the bottom of the carburetor. Like the one on this old B&S carburetor.

Most likely a fuel flow restriction. Try removing the small pipe plug from the bottom of the carb bowl. You should get a continous, SOLID stream of gas flowing from the bottom of the carb.

If you get only a dribble of gas look for a restriction. Possible causes:
- piece of junk plugging the fuel outlet at the bottom of the tank. (It's usually rust, but I've pulled leaves, pieces of gas cap gasket, bits of rag, etc from atop the fuel inlet at the bottom of tractor tanks...) - a kinked or dented fuel line
- if the steel fuel line has been replaced with hose, a partially collapsed hose
- a plugged or collapsed screen behind the fuel inlet fitting on the carb.
- float level set too high, or float binding in the bowl.
- the inline fuel filter you installed may be too restrictive (is designed for a system with a fuel pump, not a gravity flow system as on your tractor.)

Also be on the lookout for an accumulation of rust etc. in the bottom of the bowl obstructing the high speed jet. Even if you cleaned the carburetor, fresh junk can get into it from a rusty fuel line, etc.
