International TD6 Starting Problems

International TD6 starting problems. In this video I address some problems I have starting my IH TD6 crawler. I recently had the intake manifold machined due to a slight warpage. I discuss other repairs I've done to it to help it start easier.

❤ I am working on a 1953 td6 I have redone the gas side and painted it Now I’m on the diesel side should I pull the settling bowl? It’s so dirty with old caked on grease oil diesel I can hardly see it should I take it off? And is it hard to get off?

The bowl on mine was broke so it was removed and bypassed years ago. The bowl should at least be removed and cleaned but not sure if it’s hard or not. Thanks for watching

I think that is a definite improvement. With this type of carburetor the fuel to air ratio is what it is. The mix is rich as it is not pulling the CFM while the engine is trying to gain rpm at start up. these carbs are crazy simple. I can imagine the engineer who designed them his motto was "let's not over think this" Great video Thank you.

Yep I think it’s as good as it’s going to be. Thanks for watching

I bet it would start easier if it was at my house.

It would take a long time to drive it there
