I rebuilt the carb on my H and put in a new float. It leaks around the gasket where the top and bottom go together. I read the messages on here a few days ago and I know they are supposed to leak. Have I got my float set wrong or what?

Thanks Ardie

Hi Ardie,

Could be a couple of things. Bad or missing gasket. The needle valve is sticking, missing or in backwards. The adjustment tang on the float is out of adjustment allowing the fuel to continue to enter the carburator when it should shut off. (There Should be a gauge in the kit for adjusting the float.) Also, new floats have been known to leak. Been there, done that.

Be sure to shut off the fuel supply valve when the tractor is off. A needle valve that is not working could allow a lot of gas to flow into the wrong places. Wouldn't hurt to check the oil level in the crankcase. If you have more than you're suppose to, could be some of it is gasoline. Okay, that's my 2 pennies worth.

Good luck,
Fred

I had the same problem due to my stupidity. The float pivots off an area where there are ears that need to be bent to hold float pivot pin in place. I thought that the housing would hold the pin in place, but obviously I was wrong.

It helps to have the float set properly.

hope this helps
