John Deere H

[AZ GARY]

John Deere H crankcase and spark plug chamber flooded with raw gas, fuel valve was not shut off so I presume it was caused by a carburetor problem. What would it take to fix this. Thanks for any suggestions.

float stuck or needle leaking. shut off gas at tank when not using it, good habit to start.

Yes, what Paul said! Shut off gas and let engine die when shutting down tractor! If it still leaks, then you need to invest in a new shut off valve! Just wondering how you shut off tractor leading to this issue?

Probably need a needle and seat in the carburetor would solve the problem along with shutting of the gas when not using the tractor. Ron MN

I hope you got it drained out without turning the engine over. The old guy that had mine got seriously burned when a spark plug caused an explosion while he was standing near the tractor and he rotated the engine We have a small ball valve in the line on the left side before the carburator so it is easy to see and turn on and off.
