"Manic-Mechanic" 1,194 #1 Posted March 11, 2021 (edited) IMG_5654.MOV I took the 1045 out of the stable and she leaked gas outta the bowl gasket like a faucet! Sounds about right now after a rebuilt carb! The old gaskets are dried out like a leaves! Edited March 11, 2021 by oldman 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 41,164 #2 Posted March 11, 2021 Float took a dump, gasket rotted. I had a 701 that was running like a watch then all of a sudden gas started dumping out from the carb and it stalled. Float fell apart and I mean it was in pieces. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The last 3 kits that I used were on other peoples tractors, but I replaced them immediately so that I would have one in stock. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A spare carb kit is inexpensive insurance. My local hardware store has Koler kits for less than $20. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
