I've been restoring my 1952 Super A for well over two years now and finally got to the point where I was going to start it for the first time. I checked the distributor ignition and timed it to the engine and everything checked out. When I tried to start the motor it almost fired up but acted like it wasn't getting fuel. I pulled the plugs and they were dry. The funny thing is that the Zenith carburetor is dripping gas from the bottom of the wick. I pulled the carb and blew out all the jets and they are clear. I've lowered the float a couple times, but no change -- the carb still leaks and the tractor won't fire. I checked the viton needle seat and it seems to be working. I even persuaded my uncle to put some gas on a rag and hold it near the manifold port (carb off) while I turned the motor over by the hand crank -- the rag caught on fire! Scared both of us to death!! I don't understand my problem since the only adjustment on the carb is the idle. I had the carb working great prior to the rebuild. Anyone have any ideas or what I should try next? THANKS in advance for any help!
