Some IH tractors have a decal that says that around the fuel cap, and I think I've seen some caps with that stamped right into it.

Will that gunk make it through the injectors?  or does it hang up in the filters? Seems it must end up somewhere, at least the old that was still in the system between the tank that you cleaned out and the injectors.  Just curious.
Glad it is running better. A good lesson for anyone trying to run an engine that has been setting around with old fuel in it.

The filters trapped all the junk, they weren't to bad though, lesson learned.

This is a good lesson in assuming what should have been already checked when buying a machine. I have learned know to start real simple, don't go straight for the heart. :P This was a good question to fool us old loggers, we think to hard :D lg81 i feel like throwing a snowball at you  :snowball:

I'm glad you found it, and hope it didn't hurt anything. Run some good raw number 2 fuel though it.

Ya it was just something I over looked but now I know start with the simple things. No harm done, it's the best running detroit that I've owned. Hoping to put it to work next week.
