Cleaning Ford 8N Tractor Carburetor

The carburetor on my Ford 8N was leaking gas when I shut it off so today I cleaned out the carburetor for better performance and to stop leaking. Each day I am even happier that I chose this particular tractor out of the lot where I got it. This old Ford tractor has been well serviced and maintained until it sat for a while waiting for a new owner. When I first got it, two tires were flat, the steering was frozen up and there was bad gas in the tank. Of course, the battery was dead as well. I got the tractor home the other day but now I need to clean the carb so it runs better. When I shut off the engine, gas poured out of the carb, meaning the float was stuck or worn. I was happily surprised to find that all the screws were easy to turn when I removed the carburetor. Inside I found that the flat was gummed up with old gas. This was an easy fix with some carburetor cleaner and a paper towel. I cleaned the jets and other openings to be sure the tractor would run well since I had the carb open already. I put it all back together and the tractor started right up without the need for starting fluid. It runs better now without stalling. And now it does not leak gas when I shut off the engine.
