Model T Sputters and Stalls..

Hi, I have a 1924 Model T.. It starts and runs for a while then sputters and stalls unless I choke it.. any ideas?? Bad Gas maybe???

How long has the gas been sitting in it? Could also be a restricted/gummed up carb.

Hi, Thanks.. The car sat for 9 years and wghen I bought it I removed all the olg gas and replace the gas lines. I also took off the carb and rebuilt it.. The gas tank had some junk in it but all I did was flush it out.. Must have been more rust and junk in the tank that clogged up the carb.. Thanks again..

the sweet patato is the thing comming out of the bottom of the gas tank. it has a drain cock at the bottom. the out let on this that heads to the carb has a screen. open the drain cock and use a straight wire and be sure to go all the way into the gas tank. many time the hole leading into it gets debries and restricts the flow. so she will run until this empties and takes time to refill. let me know. i can talk you through on the phone if you want.
