My Farmall A has an interesting fuel starvation problem that I can't figure out. The fuel level is about 1 inch above the fuel inlet in the tank. The gascolator (stainer)and fuel valve work fine and all fuel lines are clear. I have a new Wix clear inline fuel filter so I can watch the fuel flow and level in the filter. When I open the fuel valve the gas will VERY, VERY slowly seep in until the filter is about half full of fuel. When I start the engine it runs perfectly but will eventually run out of gas because the fuel flow can't keep up with the usage - and this is even at about an idle. If I crack the fuel line open anywhere, the flow seems to be much better but then when I tighten the fitting the flow slows again. I don't know why the fuel flow is so slow. Could it be because the fuel level in the tank is low and therefore there is not enough "weight" to push the fuel along? It doesn't seem like that should cause the problem but other than that, I can't think of anything. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Dave
