Bud W said: (quoted from post at 14:07:36 06/07/08) I went to start my M yesterday and as soon as I opened the gas valve gasoline started poring out the bottom of the Carb. Once I started the engine it ran fine with no more gas pouring out. I always stop my tractors by closing the gas valve and letting them empty the carb.
Everyone has their own ideas about how to best maintain a tractor carb. In my experience - for whatever little that is worth - carbs are much more likely to pour gas if you shut them off and run them dry, than if you just shut them off and leave gas in the bowl of the carb. I always shut the gas off when I am done with my tractor, but I do not run them dry. The few times I have run them dry, invariably, they pour gas when I open the valve.
So.... no, in my opinion, you do not need to rebuild your carb; just don't run it dry. Others will tell you their favorite remedy and I respect what they have learned. I am just telling you what works for me and what I have learned from my own experience with my own tractors. mike
