I brought it home from camp in late October. At full throttle it would start to miss and die on hills so I had to use the choke a bit. It sat outside until last week, covered, in very very cold weather. I turn the fuel off whenever I leave it. Last week….push the starter button and instantly it is going and the oil gauge is pinned at fifty. I have maintenance to do so I brought it into my heated garage. Shut off the gas but carb is dripping. I expect I will need a carb kit? If so, is there one better than most? Dave

Dave, from what part(s) of the carb is it leaking fuel?

Well Ed, it seems to be leaking from the seam where the bowl attaches. I will try to have a better look today and report back. We have been assaulted by winter here so the tractor has been sitting untouched. Dave
