" Would M leak all gas out the tank thru carb
while in storage if carb was right and forgot to
turn off sediment bowl valve.?? "
Yep. In fact until I bought the new sediment
bowl my Super M would leak (evaporate) all
the gas out of the bowl while sitting with the
valve closed.

As for the carb, sounds like the float isn't
floating. Give 'er a whack with a hammer and
see if she breaks loose. If not pull the bottom
end of the carb apart (right there on the tractor)
and drop the float. Be dang sure not to loose
the pin that holds the float or the carb needle!
Stick the float in a pan of water and see if she
fills up. If yes either repair or get a new float. If
no see if the needle seals when the float is at
the top of its swing. If not you may need to
bend it just ever so slightly to make sure it
does.
I went through this on my Super M last year,
pulling it apart and diddling with the float. This
year Paul Fox was on hand to teach me about
whacking it with a hammer.
I'm not sure, but its entirely likely a dose of
sta-bil and/or letting the gas burn out of the
carb when shutting down could help prevent
this trouble in the future.
