My dad has a 1952 Farmall Super A International. Fule is getting to the carb, but wont suck up to the cylinders. There is plenty of suction and compression, and a new exhaust manifold. We"re stumped. Any ideas?

go thru the carb as needed
 
sounds like you still have a carburetor problem. If i had to guess, your jet is stopped up. remove carb and completly disassemble. soak in chem-dip and install new hard parts. Is the bowl filling up ? Float set correctly ? very remote chance of having fuel in the carb and it running so lean it will not even sputter. Simply put, there must be a blockage or not enough vacuum. One more possibility is an enormous vaccum leak. hard to diagnose without engine running, but possible.
 
You say that you have fuel to carb, is it getting fuel to carb bowl? If this has a Zenith carb there is a filter going into carb . check to see if its pluged. If not you will have go into carb as said by others.
 

He bypassed the carb with the starter turning - opened the plug and put gas directly into the intake manifold, but couldn't get the pistons wet.
Vacuum leak is a possibility, but hard to tell and where would this be? It seems to be getting enough suction.
Also, he's 1500 miles away, no internet, so we're chatting about all of this via phone... I am not seeing what he is : )
 
Give it a good shot of starter fluid, if it runs you know for sure it is a fuel problem. If it doesn t start then it is time for a compression check, assuming it has fire.
 
You are all messed up there isnt any plug to remove and pour gas into the intake. Better get someone who knows what to do as you have something mixed up in your method of starting tractor
 
Squirt some of that starting fluid around the intake manifold where it mates to the engine while trying to start the engine and see if the engine fires. Is there any gas in the carburetor? If you're just getting gas to the tube fiiting on the carburetor you probably need to remove that tube fitting and look for a screen behind the fitting as it may be plugged with rust or dirt or both.

Gene there is a pipe plug in the intake just above where the carb bolts on. You could squirt fuel in it if you could get the plug out.You could also hook a vacuum gauge to it.

And unless they cleaned it out well it is carboned over on the inside

You can also hook a bucket milker to it. Handy for dealing with down cows.
 
Pull No1 sparkplug near the radiator and pour several tablespoonfuls of fresh gas on the piston. Reinstall the sparkplug and see if the engine will fire when attemping a start. If it fires you will know you have a fuel problem. Being that far away he should get a mechanic to look at it. Hal
 

Almost surely some blockage in the carb.

Just remove it and clean it all out thoroughly.

I can't recommend a cheap ultrasonic cleaner highly enough. Drop the carb in, let it "cook" for a bit - and it'll be good as new.
