M gas tank problem solved

Posted by William Ransom on June 12, 2004 at 14:22:17 from (65.167.44.34):

Rick, who has a stone quarry near where the M is parked and apparently came to run a water pipe for his stone saw, helped me with the M. I took the gas tank off to try to clean it out, and Rick got the sediment bowl unscrewed from the tank and cleaned it out with a piece of wire. Then he washed the tank out with fuel oil and dumped the fuel oil on a rose bush when he got done. After we put the gas tank back on the M, I put the gas back in it, and Rick coast-started the M. After a short time it stalled, apparently because of some water in the gas. Rick pulled the M with his John Deere 7400 (a four-wheel-drive tractor with a cab) to start it again, and I drove it around several times and it didn't stall. I drove it back to the hill where it was, set the brakes, got off and pulled the coil wire. (The wire for connecting the ignition switch is broken so it isn't long enough.) After I walked back to the house, I remembered that I hadn't closed the valve at the sediment bowl, so I walked back to the M to close it. Rick said to put a can of dry gas and another jug of gas in it before driving it home.
