Thanks Rich!
no I have not attempted to start it, just lightly turned it over a couple times. there is absolutely no fuel in it and that's kind of why I'm a bit worried about contamination, mainly in the carb itself since its obviously iron! LOL just look at that patenia. I will absolutely try to fire it as soon as the quick carb cleaner job is done. haha.
are you suggestion that the fuel line set up, although less than ideal, should be fine with the small utility jobs its guna be doing?
it wont ever be working a field but hauling wood and plowing our laneway. maybe hay in the future but not now.
the cooper line seems like it was professionally installed and there are 2 coils under the tank to absorb flex before it runs down to the carb, all of the bends were professionally bent.
It does look like it's been on here a very long time. I have just read cooper is bad over and over again. I dont have any experience with copper lines though. I do have 4 of these 5' long stainless brake lines so I thought I would just fix it now. but you know, I could skip it.
Actually I just noticed that there is another fuel valve immediately coming out of the tank where it flows to the glass separator bowl. it's not all that easy to get to but it actually looks like its turned off! wouldnt that be funny if that was why it would not run. nah my FIL said he drained the remaining fuel as it was bad but it surely looks like its closed.
I tend to overbuild things after thinking about it for a very long time. lol. So if I'm over worrying because of my inexperience than please let me know.
