For like the millionth time, the tractor already has a fuel shut-off, and as long as everything is working properly, it doesn't need 2. Besides, the fuel tank on a 1541 is BELOW the carb. It can't leak unless the fuel pump is running.
It may very well be a bad needle and seat. That's where I'd start too. But, I think Oak had the right idea about a dead cylinder. Sounds like multiple problems to me.
