Tractor pros, I have a 1961 Massey Ferguson 35 deluxe. About 6 years ago I had it repainted and tuned up and hoses, etc. replaced as needed. I have had this machine for about 10 years. After the refurbish it has run without fail as perfect as possible until a few weeks ago. Then it would quit and then it would not run unless the choke was out and it would not idle. I think you get the picture. After removing the carb and tearing it apart it showed the float was frozen with corrosion to the bottom. I bought a new cast iron replacement and put that on. It will idle about 1,000 RPM and the idle screw is way back. If I try to move the throttle back it dies. I had it running for a half an hour today and even under a slight load ( snow plow ) but then it starts to spudder and fart and will just die . I have checked filters, screens, fuel is always fresh high test no ethanol. What may anyone suggest I check next ? I suppose it is possible the new carb is defective ? Thanks, JZ
