42 H won't start

Posted by rmthunder on July 09, 2006 at 14:10:37 from (4.224.207.59):

I wonder if I might gets some suggestions from some experts out there, Any help would be appreciated....

Here goes, I'll try to keep it short.

After 9 years of mowing with my 42 farmall H with no problems, she decides not to start this week.
Gas is now leaking from the air filter tube running from the carb to the air cleaner.
Time for a tune up? Changed plugs, cap and rotor, set new points at .020. No help. Disassembled carburetor and cleaned everything, checked float for holes, checked gas flow to carb,Checked needle valve function, cleaned fuel filter screen.
Plugs are sparking, but dry after trying to start.
I have not moved any of the adjustment screws on the carb, as it ran fine last week.
I am about out of ideas, without starting to guess.

Anyone have any ideas what to try next.

Thanks in advance, Roger B. Near Cincinnati
