My 1953 SC sat for about 3 months and now is reluctant to start. Gas drips from carb, so I'm thinking stuck float. About 5 years ago, (just as I was buying the tractor), shop in town, "rebuilt," the carb. He was complaining about cost of parts, and I know he replaced needle/seat, etc., or some things anyway.
I'm not a great, "carb guy," so I'm asking here: any tips for pulling the bowl, cleaning, what to watch for, etc., from those of you who have been through this. I have no gasket set, so need to be careful there. Oh, .. I've only used premium NON-Ethanol fuel, so gumming should not be a problem and it was using all fresh gas early this past winter.
