I have a very early Farmall C with a Marvel Shubler (sorry about the spelling). It was a barn find and had not run in several years. I rewired the tractor, replaced the manifold and rebuilt the carb. When I got in running it fired buy just looking at it. Now I am having troble getting it to start and when it gets to operating temp, it runs rough and i have to adjust. Any solutions? Thanks!
 
Drain the fuel line and the carb and clean the sediment bowl. You may want to blow out the fuel line. If the fuel filter is still in place (the elbow into the carburetor), you may need to remove it and clean.These units were tough to get going in the spring after setting up. Yours has set up a lot longer than that. Surprised it wasn't stuck.
 
Could be several things. May not be fuel at all.
Coil are condenser. Condensers get leaky from setting. Coils are not to bad about it. A condenser will short to ground a kill your spark when they get hot.
I would take the Carb back down and blow it out again making sure there is nothing in the bowl but but bright metal. Check the float I had one hang on a new gasket and had to trim the gasket.
