I redently bought a 2444 with a Kubota 3pth backhoe. I operated the backhoe and tractor before I purchased it and both ran OK. When I got it home I did some digging for about an hour without any problems. Later I started to dig again and the tractor started to run rough when under load. I suspected a clogged fuel filter. After installing a new inline filter, the tractor started and died twice and then would not start. I noticed a lot of raw gas coming out of the carb. I took the carb apart and was surprised how clean it was. The float was OK and the needle and seat looked OK. I put it back together but the engine would not start and it leaked gas.
A rebuild kit is not offered for the Zenith carb and only individual parts are available from my dealer. I ordered a needle and seat but it hasn't arrived yet. If the new needle and seat doesn't fix the problem, anyone care to speculate on what else could be wrong?
