OK, Thanks for all the replies! Here's where I'm at. 3 days in a row I filled the tire with the valve stem at 12:00. I sprayed some soapy water around it and could see the bubbles from the leaky core, and the tire went flat overnight. Yesterday I fired up the tractor and rolled it so the valve stem was at the 6:00 position. I figured I could at least get some penetrating oil in the stem. In theory I was thinking the calcium was going to run out of the stem. It ran very little, maybe a tablespoon full. I sprayed some penetrating oil in the core and was expecting air bubbles like I got at the 12:00 position. Nothing. Soapy water. Nothing. I rode the tractor around the property a little and parked it with the stem at 12:00. This morning the tire showed no loss of air. Now I'm at a loss to figure out how it fixed itself, other than crap inside the tube plugging the leak. I'll see how it looks tonight when I get home from work. Thanks again folks.

But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
