Howdy, boys: It seems once in a blue moon a job just goes smoothly without fighting me every step of the way. My SH had sat too long and was running rough and I had to keep the choke half way out to even get it to do that. Finally, it just quit. I tore down the carb about a month ago and put a kit in it. Also I discovered that the gas tank bottom was covered with a gray looking substance (residue from old dried gasoline?). So, I drained the tank, removed it from the tractor and poured 5 gals of carb cleaner in it, since I did not want to ruin the paint on the outside. Let it soak for a few days (and saved the carb cleaner) and flushed the tank with water and let it bake in the sun to dry. I also cleaned the sediment bowl, screen and valve as well as the fuel line. Finally got up the energy to re-assemble everything this week. Things went together almost too easily. It was downright spooky. I hit the starter and it caught almost instantly and purred. I didn't even have to touch the carb. No leaks! This has never happened to me before! I must be dreaming, I thought. What a wonderful tractor - smooth running and feels stronger than I had imagined it would. Thanks for all the knowledge and encouragement gained from listening and sharing information on this site. Now.... on to that terrible running Super M. mike durhan
