Anyone Know Anything about Old Hesstons?

Leicester Square · Jul 7, 2017

Hello. I have an old Hesston (FIAT, really made in Italy) 60-66, late '80s, probably. It was running well until recently when it starts to lose power after a few minutes of running. I have changed the fuel filter and drained the fuel tank and put new fuel in, but there was no change. Does anyone know if there is someplace else where fuel might be constricted?

I have a hesston that will do the same thing from time to time, its the throttle on mine, the
linkage is fine but the throttle yoke will hang up internally in the pump some way, try working the
throttle lever back and forth and tap on the pump at about 2/3s throttle and see if it picks up.
Mine will get where you can out walk it in high gear but it never completely dies.
