A stalls out idling

Anonymous-0 · Aug 4, 2013

My A stalls out when it idles for a minute, no matter how I adjust the idle mixture screw. However it doesn't die when I shut off the fuel valve. Guess I have a leaking needle valve? Gas was dripping from the carb.

If gas drips out the needle isnt working and needs to be replaced or float level is too high

That is what I figured. Had a needle valve go bad last year too, tip turned to mush. I guess at least some of the replacement needles are not E10 proof. Anyone know of a source of know E10 proof carb parts for tractors?

I dont have any trouble with the tips and have been using e-10 for 30pluss yrs.

The needle valve Viton tips should be fine as Gene said. I agree, I use them and have no issues.
