Install the parts and make sure the float is adjusted right....maybe a 30 minute job. The rewards (for me) are unbelievable. I thought the tractor ran well, but sputtered a bit before. HAR! It acts like a rebuilt engine now and I am convinced it has regained 5 lost HP....that's over 20%! No drips either:).
