This should be easy

Carb issues on my 951. Gas is dripping off the T adjustment screw. It's 2 turns out. When I try to rev it up it dies , immediately. Likes to have the choke pulled to run. Can't adjust it enough to not die when I give it throttle. I can screw it in and kill tractor. When I took it apart to clean it there was black goo in with the main needle. Maybe the O ring? I almost feel foolish for not knowing this......help??

There wasn't supposed to be an O ring. It came with a packing cone. Sounds like someone was trying to patch up a leak with a regular O ring (which isn't compatible with gas) or used rtv.

You can order the packing cone, use a special gas rated O ring, or use plumbers valve stem packing. The packing cone will last longer. You will need to pull the nozzle and clean it and the socket it screws into.
