Super M is pullin the same old tricks....
Last Memorial day I put a new sediment bowl gasket on. That seemed to fix my problems...
Saturday I went to start it, before I did I noticed the bowl was full of crap. I dumped the crap, drained the tank and flushed good.. Now when I put the bowl on and get it good and tight NO GAS COMES IN!!! It seems air bound.
If I drop or otherwise loosen the bowl, the gas comes in, but the bowl leaks.
If I loosen the line to the carb the bowl fills but the line leaks. Finally I let the bowl fill and then tightened it up. This seemed to work, but the tractor would run and then quit unless I kept it at half throttle where it would run fine, but wouldn't do any work. I could go to full throttle for about 2 minutes but then it would starve, drop back to half and all is okay. From the bowl I can see a big air bubble up around the screen which jiggles but neither breaks up or goes anywhere when the engine is running. Dad suggested that I pull the drain plug from the carb and see if the bubble would move. Unfortunately I ran out of time before I could try it.
If it doesn't snow too bad I get another chance at this in November. After that I'll have to wait for next Memorial Day at which time I intend to replace the whole bowl assembly since the metal of the assembly is deteriorating badly. Any ideas whats what here?

We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
