Hi all,

A friend told me about a neighbor who is having trouble with his 1937 Cletrac. It runs fine, except it will stall out under load. I don't know the particular model, but it does have a 4 cylinder Hercules engine. Any advice I can pass along to this gentleman would be appreciated.

Thanks-Jim

It sounds like it is starving for fuel. Something is plugged or the carb needs adjusted.
