concur with previous comments

also, if the fittings at the sediment bowl aren't tight and leak free the gas will obey the law of gravity and follow the line down to the carb

your mileage will vary

My guess would be that some tiny little piece of thread sealer or mystery crud found its way into the gas line and is interfering with the seal of the needle/seat. Not too surprising really.

Arky, Could it be now that, you have a better flow of fuel to the carb that your float problem surfaced?
It would seem that the time is now to rebuild the carb or at least check the float. Also remember to shut of the fuel and let it "run out of gas" before you park it. Just my thoughts I'm sure others will follow.

Same problem with my 9N. I need help. Changed the sediment bowl due to bad threads on one connection, now I have gas running out of the air intake of the carb. Assumed a needle and seat problem, rebuilt the carb, set the float correctly, and still have the same problem. With carb bowl off, moving the float up and down shuts off gas as it should. Inspected floats, do not appear to have any gas inside them, nor visible holes, cracks, etc. Put the bowl back on, and turn on the valve on the sediment bowl, and gas runs,(pours) out the air inlet. Any ideas?

Gas running all over out of bottom of carb on my 9N. Carb is only 1 year old. I figure a float problem. What is the reason for shutting off fuel supply and running it out of gas when parking tractor???

Take a close look. I bet it's running out of the air intake and running down the casting seam on the outside of the bottom bowl and then running off. If not, the only place for gas to leak from the bottom is at the drain plug at the very bottom of the bowl. Chances are it is not the drain plug. Other than that, the bowl is a solid cast part, with nowhere to leak unless cracked. Remove the air intake pipe at the carb, and I expect you'll see that gas is coming out of the carburator air intake.

There is a good chance it is leaking from the air intake, I agree, especially if it is flooded?. I did wonder what the little bolt was in the very bottom of the carb, as it appeared that this is where is was leaking from. I tightened this bolt up, but it still dripped. If I am flooded, is this drain bolt a way to drain out and then of course replace bolt and then try to restart?

Yes, it would lower the gas level in the bowl, but would not correct the reason for the flooding. As soon as you go again, it will still flood. If you shut off the gas, and let it sit a bit, it should clear up itself without draining the bowl. That's all the plug is, to drain the bowl, but has nothing to do with the reason for the flooding.
