Fuel pouring out of H

farmergeist · Mar 15, 2009

Trying to start the tractor, an H, and the fuel is pouring out of the carb bottom. Choke rod is pushed in. Fuel bowl pet cock is only turned 1/4.
Any ideas? What the heck in this carburetor could cause this? Fuel metering screw .25 to 3 turns out.

float is stuck, open needle letting fuel flow.

Try gently tapping on the carb with a wrench. That's all it takes to free the float on mine when it sticks.

Thanks guys. I solved problem by turning fuel screw in all the way, then letting it out gradually until tractor started. I let it out about 1.5 turns only and it worked. No more flooding. I don't know why this worked, but it did. I also don't know why it cured a float problem, but I think you were right. Somehow it did. Man, that gas was just pouring out!

Mine had a little gas in the float. I had it apart a couple times before I found it. When I shook it I could hear it. Drilled a small hole, drained it out. Runs great. No more dripping gas.
