Saturday, as I was leaving to go get lunch a guy pulls into my drive and rolls his window down. "Are you the guy that works here?". Yes I answer. He says" I have a H carb that I have had rebuilt and I cannot stop it from leaking and cannot get he tractor to run". So I tell him I will take a look at it and call me on Monday. I get back from lunch and disassemble the carb and find a few things wrong with it. Whoever rebuilt it did not put the seal on the load adjusting screw and the main jet was packed full of crud so that gas would not go through it up into the discharge tube. The needle that controls the gas flow into the carb was sticky and did not cut the gas flow off like it should have. I put the new seals in the carb and fixed the sticky needle and reassembled the carb. Now it seems to work better and is ready to go back on the tractor. In the picture you can see all of the tools I used to repair the carburetor. Sometimes a handfull of tools is all you need.
