Gene-AL, I know exactly what your talking about when it comes to excess gas dripping from the bottom of the carburetor - I've tried to stop it to no avail! This tractor never liked much choke. I've tried several settings for the float level, but it still leaks every time. While I had the carb off I put a flexible gas line onto the inlet and used a funnel to pour fuel to test the needle seat, but gradually gas would run into the air filter hole. I would set the float lower; same thing, it leaked. Next, I took the carb apart and, with the float engaging the needle, used a hose connected to the inlet to see if the needle seat was sealing. Everytime I tried this I couldn't blow air into it, so I can only ASSUME it's sealing. I don't think these carbs should leak like this if they are working right! The seat is probably leaking. I've also checked to see if the float was rubbing the inside of bowl and everything seems to be good there. Good point about the air breather. I checked that and it's all clear. Thanks!
