Leaking carburetor

I noticed my carburetor leaks slightly when running, apparently out of the gasket that connects it to manifold. Could this be causing my problems where I need to choke the tractor to get it to run?

Regardless, I am going to buy a carb kit, some new fuel filters, and take apart the carb and do a full cleaning and rebuild if necessary.

Here is a picture where I circled where the leaking is, it is not that much leaking but I can feel it with my finger and smell that it is gas.

If it leaks there then yes, you could
have a vacuum leak causing it to not pull
the fuel it needs. By coming it you
reduce air volume and such more fuel.

Thanks, I assume you mean choking it? So by choking it, I will be reducing air volume? How does that affect or how is it affected by a vacuum leak?
 
By choking it your increasing how much fuel it gets so in turn the air leak levels out. Replace the gasket and good chance the problem will go away with the bad gasket
 
John,
If the fuel adjustment screw is cranked in all the way in, it will make a mix rich mix. Providing you
don't have a manifold leak.

I had to adjust my screw all the way out. I even stretched the spring and put a few washers under
spring.
 
John-Do the simple, obvious thing first. DON'T buy a bunch of parts that you don't need,
and DON'T tear the carburetor all apart. Get the gasket between the carburetor and the
manifold (the one that's leaking) and replace it. If that doesn't fix the problem, then dig
further.
