    Oil leak on 4600

    Hmmm. Interesting. I first noticed the problem after using the tractor fairly hard for about two hours then had it idling for about 3-5 minutes as I switched implements. It seems to happen when the engine is hot, though I haven't done the full experiment. One other thing I just recalled but...

    Oil leak on 4600

    I discovered an oil leak on my 4600. It seems to be coming from the top left bolt on the exhaust manifold. I'm surprised to find oil coming from there. Does the bolt enter an oil passageway? Looking at the "Top Gasket Set" on YT it looks like it comes with six o-rings or at least o-shaped...

    AC G carburetor problem

    If anyone is still following this I thought I would update you on the solution. Chris (swIA) was correct. The new points and condenser I installed were faulty. I replaced them with yet another new set and it runs like a new 67 year old tractor! I guess the lesson learned is to not trust new...

    AC G carburetor problem

    The choke plate is wide open so that's not the issue. The kit I got from Yesterday's Tractors did not include a gasket small enough to use with the jet. I didn't see a gasket when I removed the jet. Any idea where I could find a gasket? It seems like the gas would have to travel through the...

    AC G carburetor problem

    I'm getting good spark at the coil and all the spark plugs. What makes you think it is the points and condenser? I'll have to buy a new set since the old set is no longer with us...

    AC G carburetor problem

    Anyone know what the item is on the carb explosion diagram that I highlighted with the red arrow? It looks like there should be something either on the end of the jet or on the jet somewhere. I don't seem to have that on my carb if in fact it is something.

    AC G carburetor problem

    I took apart the carb again and measured the float as suggested. It checks out at 1/4" from the body. Any other ideas?

    AC G carburetor problem

    Thanks for the reply. I read that in the manual but I don't understand how to take the measurement. What I did was hold the top half of the carb upside down and measured the distance from the edge of the float nearest the needle to the carb top/gasket. It measured 1/4". Is that how it is...

    AC G carburetor problem

    I should also mention again that it doesn't drip when the engine isn't cranking. I would have expected it to drip continually if it was a float/valve issue...

    AC G carburetor problem

    I bought the kit from Yesterday's Tractors. I had the same problem using the old needle and seat and thought replacing them would fix the problem. Any idea how to adjust the float?

    AC G carburetor problem

    I've been struggling with getting my G working consistently this season. I'm hoping someone can help. The latest is the carb seems to drip gas whenever I am cranking the engine. If it just sits with the fuel line valve open it doesn't drip gas. I can get it to start occasionally but it...
