I took a video to see what you guys think. I turned the engine over with the ignition off just for the video. Are there specific parts I need to replace? It looks like it is coming out of the bottom screw and also from the choke shaft. Does it need a full rebuild? Thanks for your help. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0tbri6Fikw&feature=youtu.be [Reply]   [No Email]

Dificult not to. Somene once recommended using Dremel tool and grinding away / smootihng out the inside of the chamber. GREAT idea. Gonna do it next time. Fore now, I have a shutoff valve right beside the carb, and use it every time I shut off. Works gerat. [Reply]  [No Email]

If it is dripping only from the bottom, then it is simply overchoked. [Reply]  [No Email]

Best to try to start the tractor with the choke off, then open 1/2 as soon as it starts to keep it running. Or open and close it while you crank, not more than about 3 revolutions. This typically happens whether or not you had the fuel shut off, less so if you have had it off. [Reply]  [No Email]

First thing, Close bowl valve. then pull that rubber hose and drain the gas out. The fix the float/needle vale problem. [Reply]  [No Email]

But I would also be doing a compression check on your engine. It should not have the back pressure with no ignition. [Reply]  [No Email]
