First I would like to thank Dan, Jerry and Gahor for thier timely and very insighful replies, as I decided to take the advise and go back to the shop for another look see and try. So here is what we have so far, and just checking in to see if there might be anything else I am missing, as now after planing both surfaces of the carburetor, after the first stroke across the sanding disk, I could quickly see we had some warping of the surfaces. Next, looks as if I do not know my own strength, as when I tightened the power jet down I tore the rubber gasket that sits at its base, now we have reassembled and hooked up my bench fuel pump, just to see if we had leakage, sure enough we did, but did I ever turn red in the face when it come to mind, "Stupid, this is a purely gravity flow situation, no pressure required!"...AH_HAH! S out to the tractor, hooked it up to the fuel line and granted, we no longer have the enormous overflow of gasoline coming from the power jet, but we do have a very little trickle, now I checked for levelness and sure enough, when I hold the carb level the trickle reduces extremely, so I can see the advise about truning off the fuel tank valve when one allows the tractor to sit for a period, and why it would appear that the tractor is flodded once it has been used a while. SO could the three of you chime in and tell me if I am on to something here or still just chasing my tail. Again, thanks a whole bunch for the advice, hope I may eb able to return the favor some day.
