Finally got my ignition issues straightened out and got to hear my tractor run for the first time! Tractor will only run if I spray gas down the carb. Removed the carb and found a ton of gunk in the carb from lacquered gas and a rusty fuel tank. So a rebuild is in order.
The carb is either professionally rebuilt or a new carb that went on about two years ago. I'm thinking I could get away with just a gasket kit and a thorough cleaning. The only tractor place around is Tractor Supply...do they carry the gasket kits for the Zenith carbs? I know they've got a limited selection.
Also, does anybody have a good closeup photo of the float where it contacts the needle? I see the needle has a groove on the back which would hook to the float but the float does not have the corresponding fork to catch it.
On a different note did the BN's originally come with the Zenith carb? The neck for my oil bath air cleaner and the neck on the carb are different sizes.
Thanks for the help!
