I was asked to get this 641 running again.It belonged to his wife's grandpa. Has not ran in 20 years. The fuel tank is the worst one I've ever seen. he is going to need a different one.

BTDT A new tank would be a good place to start... I have a bad habit I like to kill issues I can see and not be aggravated and work around issues I can see. I look into the gas tank on all tractors I just happen to look at and ALL that folks drop off for me to work on. If I see a dirty contaminated tank I recommend we start there if they balk they can drag there chite to another shop...

Good clean fuel is like a sore pecker its hard to beat...
 
I bet there is two inches of loose rust in the bottom of the tank. I cleaned out the carb today. Going to hook up a lawn mower tank and see if the old girl will run.

I keep one of those big snow blower gas tanks off the brigs motors. they have a shut off on them and I tie-wrapped a huge speaker magnet to the side and just stick it to a convenient place. if you throw a rag on first between the magnet and the paint it will protect the paint
