Well I believe that I need a carb. rebuild as I seem to be getting to much gas into the carb. and the tractor will not start?? Gas literally poors out of the carb by the choke valve while trying to start. Plugs are also black and are new this season. I am not a mechanic, but I do have the Ford Shop Manual and am going to jump into to project this weekend. Thoughts or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Not a hard job. Just make sure you pull all jets and clean or replace them and clean carb body real good. Sounds like your float valve may be giving you trouble.

I agree with Phil that it sounds like the float valve is hanging up on you...I do know after going thru that myself that there are 2 type of float valves/seats....One valve has a rubber tip on it and the other does not ...both of these have a different seat...just make sure that when you change the valve you also change the seat to avoid a mismatch...HTH...Alan

I had simillar problems. I found it was two-fold. the carb. needed to be cleaned badly, and the points were badly worn. Once the carb. was cleaned I was assured of proper flow, next was spark. I have had my 8N for three years but the historical maintenance is suspect. Now it starts with ease. Good luck.
