Working on getting the fuel system fixed up on my Massey Ferguson 65. It is a Marvel-Schebler TSX 695 carb on a G176 Continental engine. The tractor has sat for less than five years and fired up correctly once I replaced the points and filled the gas tank. It has had E10 run in it for a while and the tank has been bone dry due to a leak on the sediment bowl. Not much rust in it but gonna put it in the dip and clean it up. The last time the carb was rebuilt was close to 30 years ago. I remember when we did it and added a fuel filter to the line. Biggest issue was the sintered metal drain in the bottom of the air path that lets any fuel leakage get out was plugged so the fuel ran to a rubber boot and ate a hole in it. I was patching it with duct tape for several years but while it was sitting some mice decided to pack hickory nuts up in the intake pipe so when I went to give it a test drive they sucked up in the carb and covered the jet 100 foot down the road. Limped it back and cleaned them out and tried again only to have another one do the same thing. The bowl fell off the oil bath air cleaner at some point in time and got smashed by the power steering unit. Don't know how long ago that happened.probably the last few times dad ran it.
Also took the sediment bowl off the tank to clean it and flush any junk out of the tank. Used a chainsaw raker file to clean the flanges on the carb.
Will post mor pics when I put the carb back together
