Everything said so far is true. I too, am supprised that it would continue to run with gas running out of air intake tube because this would cause a severe flooding situation. Lightly tapping on carb, and or engine vibration while running, might shake a stuck valve or float loose so it will function properly. This is ussually a tempirary fix, if it fixes it, and will likely do it again. Most likely you will have to disassemble the carb to see what exactly is causing it. One of three things. Sticking needle valve, sticking or hole in float, or float level is set way to high. Never the less, even without a carb problem, it is a good habbit to get into on shutting gas off while tractor is not in use. I do it on all of mine. No telling how much gas I have saved over the years.
