I had the same problem on my Super M. Rust builds up in the gas tank and particles get in neddle valve and make it stick. I had to overhaul the carb. Inside the carb overhaul kit it has settings for the float. You need a machinest rule(calipers)to set this. As for set screws, you need to let it run and adjust them until it lets the right amount of gas through. WARNING- The float wiil stick and gas will flow out of the carb. When this happens the tractor will die. take off the air intake pipe and let the gas drain out. take a screwdriver and hit it against the side of the carb to unstick the float. put the air intake back on and turn on the gas. After you get it back in the shed, CHECK YOUR OIL! After mine leaked like that a few times, the oil had so much gas in it it was thinner than water. This is a good way to crack a head or put a hole in the piston. Any way this advice is coming from a 13 year old. But I had the same experience and this is how I fixed it. Good Luck! let me know if it worked. Brandon.
