First, tap your float bowl on the carburetor a couple times with a screwdriver handle. If this fixed the problem, then you had a stuck float/needle. If that does nothing, then take your carburetor off the manifold by disconnecting the air cleaner, gas line, choke rod, and governor connecting rod. Take the 4 screws holding the top and bottom of the carb together off. Go to NAPA and get a rebuild kit for your carb (probably 30 bucks) and slap 2 new gaskets, a needle, and a seat in the carb. The rest of the parts probably aren't needed. While you have your carburetor off, soak it in carb cleaner over night. The next day, take your main jet (the little bolt-looking thing on the non-engine side of the carb) off. Blow it out with compressed air, and reinstall. Put your whole carb back together and put it on the tractor. This should be a fairly painless process, but there are a few trouble spots:
1. Stripped threads in the carb at the manifold - Be careful here, but some stripped thread repair should fix this.
2. Leaking at the gas line connection - If you have a metal line will this really be a problem. A likely culprit will be stripped threads in the carb. Be careful using thread repair here, because you can actually glue your line to the carburetor. You can also buy some gasoline-grade teflon tape to put on the threads to seal the connection.
3. Runs good until under load - Float tang is bent so that there is not enough gas coming through the valve (just bend the tang to fix this).
4. There is gas flow until the bottom half of the carb is reinstalled - Float tang is bent down, so that when the bottom of the carb is installed, the float pushes up on the needle and shuts the fuel off (again, bend the tang the appropriate way to fix this problem).

Today's Featured Article - Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
