Everything below makes sense to me in regards to the gas running thru the carb to the ground when you are not running the tractor. As JimN beat into me years back...turn off the gas on your tractors when you are done. It just makes sense. What doesn't work for me is the 2 minutes of cranking to get fuel to the carb before it will start. It's a gravity system. Turn on the gas and it is there. With your overflow issue there should be enough gas in the carb to get a start even with the fuel off. I do it every day around here to avoid flooding in cold weather. If it were me I would also be looking for an answer to why a Farmall M that should start in a couple of cranks is not starting in a couple of minutes.
