Will not stay running
Is it a no spark problem? or fuel problem?
If it is a no spark problem....check for voltage to the coil when it stops.
You do/should have a resistor before the coil which could be bad ( no voltage when hot) or missing (removed) overheating the coil.
If no fuel.....check for flow to/at carb when it stops.
Is the gas cap vented?
My ford 8n was running
these are gravity fed there is a chance something is pugging the outlet hole I would disconnect the fuel line and see if you have flow if not take the cap off and use air to blow back up into the tank to free up flow again
Tractor wont start. with starting fluid sprayed
The last resort is:
Take the carburetor off and take it to a shop and have it "soaked" overnight in a "soak tank", blown out with compressed air, and reassembled with a new overhaul kit.
You did all the right things, but the tiny drilled holes & passageways can clog with gummy deposits and prevent fuel flow.
God bless your efforts.
I have an older ford
Try removing the gas cap and see if it still stalls after 10 minutes. If it doesn't then the vent hole in the gas cap is clogged up.
