9N Keeps stalling

In December I replaced the carburetor, plugs, points, condensor, distributor cap, coil and plug wires on my 9N. It runs better than it ever has in the four years I have owned it. That is, until our last snow storm on Monday.

I was happily clearing snow, when it suddenly lost power and died. Thinking I must have underestimated the amount of gas in the tank, I added a couple of gallons. It then started right up and I continued working for a couple of minutes, when it died again. That pattern kept up until I stopped in frustration. When it decides to stall, it just stalls. feathering the gas/choke, etc have no effect. Sometimes it races a bit just before quitting. I believe that the gas is not getting through. It does seem, though, that it will idle forever.

If I try to remove the sediment bowl, what am I likely to find? Is there a screen there anywhere that could be plugged? Are there tests I can try to troubleshoot?

Thanks,

Ralph
