My tractor just developed an issue today. I went to start it and it fired right up and ran briefly, then died. drained the battery trying to get it to start again. That's when I noticed a drip coming from the air intake hose on the carb. It was gas. I moved the hose a bit and even more gas came out. like a small stream. I went and turned the fuel cock off so I wouldn't lose more.
Obviously it is flooding. My guess is the float went bad or something happened to the needle/seat so that it overflows. Any other ideas before I take it apart tomorrow?
I have rebuilt many other types of carbs before, but never this model. I don't expect any surprises, but thought I would ask anyway.
And I believe it is the original Marvel carb too.
