Well here it goes. After a major carb overhaul it is still flooding. I had it done by a "professional" and he even put it on his stationary engine started it up and it all worked great. When I got it home, on the tractor, it would not go. It sure flooded though. There is compression in all cylinders, intake manifold working. I am about done with guessing, Help!
Thanks everyone, John

This may sound stupid but----- Is there any chance you have the choke and throttle linkages reversed??? You are using the shutoff valve on the sediment bowl aren't you???? HTH

Used to have flooding problems with my 8N until I replaced the fuel tank shutoff valve. The old one let enough trickle through to flood it overnight, even with a fresh float needle and seat in the carb. No problems (with flooding) since the new valve.

If this could be your problem, try pulling the fuel line from the carb and plugging it after use, then reconnect just before the next startup.
Also, if its flooding overnight, you might find, like I did, that gas would pour out the air inlet upon removing the intake hose rubber. That's flooded!

If it is not the carb, then you are not getting enough air... Try running it without the air cleaner. Make sure that the choke butterfly is all the way open... Are you sure it is flooding, did you pull plugs and they are wet with gas?
Happy Motoring
