This was the part I decided to fix first.
Believe it or not, and I know most of you will, it still leaked.

SURE!!!......I'm still down here,....working my fingers to the bone,...and yer out there chasing Mutts. :lol: [/i:9b96f84bb3][/b:9b96f84bb3]
 

my sediment bowl came with a crack (no extra charge.)

i JB Welded the crack, and it actually did NOT leak after that. arguably not as pretty as yours tho.
 

I am pretty sure it was something Hobo posted about RTV and gasoline not working . Something about gasoline was an easy way to remove RTV or something like that . Just one of those tidbits of info I mentally stored .


Answer from the Permatex FAQ's

[i:05374274ff]No, Ultra Blue® is a silicone-based product, that will offer a good seal, and has good resistance to oil and coolant, however, silicones are not recommended for use in a gasoline environment. The gasoline will attack the product. Permatex® offers the solvent based Form-A-Gasket® products or MotoSeal® #29132 that are designed for applications in a gasoline environment.[/i:05374274ff]

Joan told me today that she doesn't talk much.
At the time, I thought that was the biggest whopper I'd hear today! :p
 
None of that RTV was set Ken. It all wiped right off with a rag.
Inside and out of both the bowl and the assembly.
I don't see how anyone would think it would help. It won't.
Now I get to wipe it all out of the inside of the carb too. :roll:
 
It appears to me that that metal cup on the bottom of the bowl is not properly seated against the bowl. I think I'd try bending the bail or what ever it takes to get the cup to seat squarely. ( Obviously after you cleaned off the RTV and checked the gasket on the top of the bowl). May just be an optical illusion on my part, but it surely does look like something is kittywampus. Still worth saving.............
 
Mike OH, it does seem to help if you put the bail arms in the
little slots on the side of the assembly. That, and take out the
two currently installed gaskets, clean out the remnants of the
previously installed gaskets and install one clean new gasket.
Sans RTV.
No more leak. On to the next "little thing".
This tractor has many of them, but it was cheap. LOL
