Allis C. I’ve tried it all. Carb has been cleaned with Berryman cleaner. The body also soaked in evaporust. Added inline fuel filter. Float height is good and floats do not hang up on side wall. New gasket under float needle seat body. I even removed the wire clip between the float and float needle. Tried different needles.
Only thing left is buy several needles and seats in hopes I get a good match.
I’ve read the aftermarket carbs have poor performance. Is a Marvel carb an option?

No I checked that also. If I blow into an empty carb bowl it holds holding upside down. As soon as it overflows I disconnect fuel line from carb and attach a hose and blow it appears to hold but under gravity feed it overflows as soon as the bowl fills up with fuel valve open. I measured the original needle to be a few thousands larger than the new needle thinking it gets kicked to side of dead center into seat hole. Sad because this tractor has been completely taken apart and overhauled from lower drive to engine.
