450 won't stay running

Anonymous-0 · Sep 18, 2011

Help. I have a 450 gas farmall that will not stay running. Replaced plugs and points and still no better. When it starts up it just spits and sputters and only runs a few seconds then dies. I guess carb adjustment is next step. I need some guidance on where to start with adjustments. Looks like there are three adjustment screws and a drain. What are the suggested initial settings?

More then likely the carb will need a cleaning / rebuild. However first check to see if you have a good fuel flow coming from the tank, could be rust and such blocking the flow.

Fuel supply issue most likely{ Three common places to check. Fitting into tank (hole at sediment connection)
Screen in the sediment bowl. The screen at the carb inlet fitting. The fuel must come out of the drain plug like a puppy taking a leak! Use a pan to check it for a minute or more to assure it flows continuously. Jim
