Thanks, I've rebuilt quite a few carbs myself over the years. This one has been running fine on the tractor for a while since rebuilt. I replaced the float and set the height when I rebuilt it. I've never had one flood the block before though. Small engine or automotive. I've heard of that happening.
I picked up a new rebuild kit today along with a couple of oil filters and ordered the bracket that connects the implement lift arm to the mower lift arm. Hopefully this will help keep me from breaking another rock shaft plowing.
Back to the carb. These float valves do indeed have a rubber tip and like stated above the dealer said they have been having fits with E10 eating up the tips and seals. I can't wait to see what's inside. Haven't had time yet this week to get to it.
Just for grins and giggles I priced a new carb. Dealer laughed and said probably $350 and he was serious. It was only $240. Next time I'll just put a Weber or Holley on it and save some money! ha ha.
