[hawaiian]

I HAVE TWO FORDSONS THE CARB FLOODS ON ONE OF THEM AND WONT START BUT IF I INSTALL THAT CARB ON THE OTHER FORDSON IT RUNS FINE
WHAT IS GOING ON? DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY INFO THAT CAN HELP ME?

Did you swap them back to the original spots and get the same results? I would think float is stuck on one of them. The other fuel pump possibly? I don't know a thing about those tractors so I am just tossing lame ideas.

I'm wondering what fuel pump a 1920 fordson has???

You do realize we are talking about a tractor that looks like this:

Gravity looks like the fuel pump for that dinosaur
I figured it was old. That would give some clues that it might have rust in the tank. Old fuel lines. Rebuild the carb time.. Classic lines though. Don't have to worry about flat tires

If this tractor has one check the inlet tube and air filter for a blockage like a mouse nest.
