I am having trouble with my carberator. I have rebuilt it and the tractor will run but if it doesn't start right away gas pours out of the bottom of the carb. I have tested the float to see if it leaks and it checked out. The valve operated by the float seems to work. Any suggestions?

The valve that the float operates is a needle valve and seat and if gasoline is pouring out, it isn't working properly. Put a new one in because cleaning seldom works. Starting procedures for all tractors are different and a function of spark and vacum, which lifts the gasoline up and into the valves. I will bet you need to clean the carb again. When you do be sure to run a small wire thru the jet passages or drop it in a sonic cleaner.

Thanks for the help. Would anybody have any suggestions for a good book to help me with this carberator and a good tune-up?

My uncle, who started on H's when they were new, said a wooden handled screwdriver was the correct tool to smack the side of the carb to free up the float.
When I put a rebuilt carb on mine a couple years ago it did the same thing - after a while it got better, hardly ever does it now.
Be sure you cut off the fuel when you park it.

Best way to start the ones I have is to leave the choke off, they will almost always fire, and if I'm quick enough I can pull the choke out no more than half way to keep them running. If they don't keep running, then they usually flood and are hard to start. Another way is to briefly close the choke while cranking, maybe for two revolutions, then open it. The worst thing to do is to close the choke and try to start it when closed -- no air.

To start your H, leave the ignition off, pull out the choke, and crank it 'twice'. Open the choke, open the throttle 6 or 7 clicks, turn on the ignition and try it. You might have to give it 3/8" of choke to get it to run decent while it warms up.
