I posted an add this morning in another section & I haven't had a response yet, so, I'm hoping someone can help me...I've got a 64' Ford Industrial loader, 4 cyl gas/ down-draft carb...she's been real hard starting since overnight temps hav dipped below freezing...I've also had it dripping gas (never done it before) when I leave it overnight...I tookt he carb apart, floats look good/ it's clean....I filed my points, I've got a good bl;ue-snappy spark....I need this tractor daily, I hate to use ether all winter....it's got a foot throttle, I've never had to touch it before when starting, normally, just pull the choke, hit the button & let the choke go.....any ideas? I've had it many years, always been faithfull, never had this trouble before....thanks for any ideas...Josh in Maine

A good tuneup probably is needed. As Jim mentioned plugs, I would check the distributor cap
for any burnt contacts replace if needed, new points and condenser and new plug wires. Don't use that 87 octane gas either. Put the tractor under load and make that engine work. Hal

IMHO the dripping gas is the symptom and the cause both.
Always shut the fuel off at the tank on gravity supply units.

Replace the fuel inlet needle valve and seat in the carb. This should fix the drip, (still shut off the fuel)

If it was dripping overnight the engine could be flooded on start and be difficult from too much fuel.

It may take a new set of plugs, or hard use, to bring it back from carbon buildup.
