Last August I had my carb professonally rebuilt at my local John Deere dealer. After I installed the carburator and ran it a while I noticed a few drips of fuel comming from the bottom of the fuel bowl where the float is located. I am not a carb guy so all I can do here is describe what it looks like. It looks like the fuel is comming from one of the two cap bolt at the bottom of the carb where that bowl is. Is there any way to stop the leak ? The tractor runs fine with the leak but I would like to know why its leaking especially because I just had it overhauled. Can I tighten the cap bolts? Thanks for any help with this... Tye

tye: Let me add one more item after clooney if I could. If you have a duplex carb. the gasket goes on the inside of the bowl between the bowl and the machined flat spot on the casting.No gasket under the nut .only the single carbs. use one directly under the nut.

Tye, dry it up some & look closely at which spot on the bottom of the carb the leak is coming from. It makes a difference on the repair procedure. If it is the bowl attaching nut, maybe a little tightening will help [be careful as the carb bowl nut threaded area breaks off easily]�If the load screw is leaking you might need a new "O" ring for that... It might even be the drain plug leaking, & if so it might just need a little sealer on the threads...If it is the bowl nut leaking, sometimes removing the nut & putting a little sealer on each side of the gasket then re-assembling it will stop the leak...Again, if you do it yourself DON�T over-tighten that bowl nut or you risk breaking it off���
