BN engine and H carb questions

Posted by Jeff on September 20, 2001 at 07:41:08 from (63.150.94.35):

1. I'm getting a BN in a couple of years. The tractor has been sitting outside in northern Michigan for ten years without a muffler (the exhaust pipe is exposed to the elements). In order to help preserve what's left of the engine, I was going to fill up the manifold/combustion chamber and the crankshaft/cam/bottom half of the engine with fuel oil; my hope was it would penetrate the engine and stop further rusting. Is this a good idea, or is there a better way? How many gallons would I need for this?

2. The carbs on my two H's and SMTA drip gas out of the bottom of the carb when I turn it over (and it doesn't start immediately). There's a steady trickle for about 1 to 2 seconds. When the tractor starts and runs, this doesn't happen. Is this normal? If not, what can I do about it? I rebuilt them, the floats don't appear stuck, and I have the main fuel jet turned in to the point where the tractor is on the border of konking out. Thanks.
