JD Model 2010 Carb Removal Tips

Hi - have an old JD2010 w. gas engine, that is in remote northern minnesota used for brushing. After not being run for a long time I ended up replacing both gasket/screen to stop leaking from top of sediment bulb that wasn't properly sealing. After that 'success', however, gas started leaking from carb which was brand new!! ...appears to be coming from where choke linkage attached to carb, but as that is right against the engine block I am not certain if that is correct, or it is just flowing in that direction and dripping down from that point.

I have a couple of questions:
1. How difficult is carb removal/what gotchas should I be particularly careful to pay attention to?
2. There is no room to seemingly access where that choke connection fits with the carburetor to disconnect it - suggestions?

My plan would be to remove the carb and bring it about 30 minutes away to a guy who does JD work as I don't have a heavy enough trailer/vehicle to move the tractor.

Grateful for any suggestions or tip - thank you.
 
Probably have a sticking float. The first thing I would do is tap on the side of the carb with a screwdriver handle and see if that helps. You might also try removing the carb drain plug and let some gas flow. Catch it so as to look for rust/dirt in the gas and that may also help by helping the rust/dirt in the needle seat get out and just a small piece of rust will cause the float needle to leak
 
Is it leaking by the choke shaft?

If so, the carb must be "running over".

If you remove the air inlet hose/tube, is there a bunch of gasoline in the tube and airhorn? (CAREFUL of fire!)

If it's running over, sometimes a few taps with a screwdriver HANDLE on the inlet valve area can hake debris loose/let the inlet needle seat.

If it IS necessary to remove it, likely you can move it away from the block/tilt it after removing the mounting bolts to allow (still not so easy) access to the screws attaching the choke cable.
 
The problem your having can happen t o new or old carb floats do stick at time and the needle seat area does get dirt/rust in it and causes that also
