I'm new to tractors but I can manage repairs if I know what to repair. In brief, I have a ford 601 Workmaster. It has a new batter, new oil and filters, and I repaired the leaking fuel shutoff valve. It was running good. I was then using it off and on throughout the day, leaving it turned off but leaving the fuel valve on, turning it back on every 20 min or so. I then was driving up a small incline. Parked it. Turned it off. I went to restart and it would just go click, click, click, every time I pushed the start button with the key on. I first thought it would be a failed solenoid. I was close to the garage and pushed it in and I turned off the fuel shutoff valve.
The next morning I tried again but no click sound. I realized I left the key on overnight and I also realized this shouldn't be done. I thought that I might now have an issue with my key switch, coil, points, sparkplugs, etc... I looked at the points and condenser and they look new (I recently bought this tractor). I let it sit another night with the key off. The fuel valve was still closed.
Today I checked again and I noticed the air intake tube to the carburetor was bent. I went to straighten it and about 1/3 gallon of fuel spilled out.
Wow, I have too many issues and I don't know what happened. Can anyone suggest where I should start first. The battery does have full charge. My inclination is that I first had a failed solenoid but then I damaged by switch and or condenser/coils? But why would I have all that fuel in my air intake tube - would it be because of excess choking when I was trying to start it 20 times?
