Took my newly purchased gas 574 out for its maiden voyage last week, it ran GREAT for about 30 minutes max. No smoke, no sputtering, no missing, etc. Then out of the blue, it sputtered and died, then wouldn"t start. I noticed gas dripping steadily from the carburetor. Made sure the key was off, then drained the carburetor via the plug on the bottom of the bowl. Tried to start it again, same thing. Carb bowl filled with gas and started dripping gas again. Drained it, waited 1 hour, it started again, ran really rough and died within a minute. Any thoughts? Stuck float?? Bad shut-off solenoid? Angry tractor gods??? I plan on rebuilding the carburetor and installing a new float to see if this corrects the problem, but would appreciate any input from youse tractor exspurts on possible causes and potential solutions.

Rebuild that carb, clean everything you can find in it, every tiny hole etc. Most of these [mine included] have junk [rust, scale] in the tank, tiny bits of this get all the way to the float & cause it to stick. This summer i"m going to seal the inside of the tank with POR 15. When you put the carb back together, the plastic venturi goes BIG end up, don"t ask how I learned this. IH still has new gas tanks for these, 800.00 will buy one! They do get rusty after 30+ years.

I learned that Jimmy after you helped me out with it - AFTER i'd taken the carb on & off about 10 times! I still owe you lunch too -

Tanks,fellers! I"ll be adding another inline fuel filter during the carb rebuild, just in case it is junk in the trunk. Plan on coating the tank this winter.

Wish me luck.
