Irish, If you have gas dripping out the carb all the time, you have a problem. My jubilee, will leak very little, just enough to see the oil filter get wet. I think the excess gas is created when I shut off tractor. Not an issue for me.
As for lack of power. I have to open my main jet 2 1/2 turn more for winter time use or it will stumple when I need power when pushing snow. So if your tractor is stumbling in 4th gear my guess is it wants a little more gas to feed all the horses.
I recently purchased an exhaust temp guage to adjust my carb. I installed the temp proble in the muffler next to the in side of muffler. Ran tractor in second gear while using my 6 ft woods finish mower. After getting a base line, I cranked main jet in 1/4 turn at a time. The temp went up after the first two 1/4 turns. The last 1/8 turn in the temp dropped below my base line. Tractor still made all the horses I need. Spark plugs are white and new looking, no deposits. When I would use tractor hard on a 90 degree day, the temp inside engine would cause dieseling. I don't think it will diesel the way I have carb set.
So feed the horses with a little turn out on main jet. If carb leaks when tractor is running, rebuild the carb. If it leaks a little when off, turn off gas or take carb apart and fix float. George

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
