Found the carb problem. My error on float assembly. I too ordered a new fuel bowl and cutoff valve. My cutoff valve broke when I tried to close it during tear down. Couple questions Kid.
1. I have a leak in the gas tank float for fuel gauge. Is it your experience it will hold laying in the fuel all the time?
2. This question might require a pic to go with it. Once I got the tractor started, the hydraulic leaks began to appear. The worst leak was from two bolts located just below the seat on the transmission. If I remember right, one was slightly higher elevation than the other. If you are sitting on the seat, they are in the 10-11 o'clock position. If this is not clear, I will get a pic next time I am out there. Are these bolts I can remove and put a new seal on or use thread tape to fix. Obviously, they are under pressure. I want to change fluid but want to get leaks taken care of.
The float, you have two options. Pull it from the tank. Easy enough being on top. Let the float drain and see if you can spot the crack and repair with some JB weld. If not order you a new similar sending unit which should also come with new gasket. I had to replace mine because the resistance winding was shot.
The bolts that hold the seat will definitely have to be sealed with either wipe on thread sealant or tape sealant. Sounds like your right on track. Post some pictures of your progress so we can pick it apart or point fingers.. <jk> :laughing: -robert
