H Sticky Float Carb Note

Even with the fuel shut-off valve closed, I'd grown accustomed to having to pull the air cleaner pipe off the end of the carb and letting the pool of gas that had formed there run out before I went to start the tractor. I figured I'd have to pull the carb apart (again) to fix it. Saw a post about the float sticking and followed the advice to just give the carb bowl some raps with the handle end of a large screwdriver. I did that once in November and have used the tractor several times since pushing snow and the gas-pooling has _never_ reappeared. I still always close the fuel shut-off valve but I guess just dislodging that float once from whatever it was hung up on did it. Love those easy fixes. Thanks to whoever posted that advice.

Another easy fix for a sticky needle valve is to remove the fuel inlet line, open or remove the drain plug in the carb bowl, and then spray carb cleaner into the inlet until the cleaner runs out the bottom. This works good if there is some old gummy gas mixed in with fresh.
