Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Fuel leaking after shutoff, kawasaki engines, overflow tube

Question
I have a Kubota tractor, TG1860G, with a Kawasaki engine, FD (or WG) 590V-107523. After mowing, when I put the tractor in the garage and shut off the engine, within a minute or two fuel starts dripping out of an overflow tube on the left (from drivers perspective) side of the engine, just forward of the left steering tierod. After a few minutes I will have a wet spot on the floor approx. 6 inches in dia., at which time the dripping stops. I have searched the internet looking for a rebuild kit for the carb, with no luck. Do you think replacing the float valve (@ $19.95) will do the trick? Or...???

Answer
hi wayne

yes i do  but check for debris  i tank anf fuel filter,  clean tank, change fuel filter
clean  carb and float needle and seat ,  check float for hole(s)  

recheck for flooding  then replace float valve and seat and re-set fuel level

here is web site for parts
