Well my float valve must be working properly as I've never shut off the tank valve unless I was doing maintenance. It has never dumped gas nor has the oil ever had any indication there was a problem. I give it the sniff test. Once the engine is running there is no indication of cylinder or valve issues. I've always used Valvoline Racing VR1 straight 30 with a 1/4 cut of Lucas Heavy Duty. Always a new Kohler air filter with new foam lubricated with air filter oil yearly. There was an International dealer locally and there were many Cubs around. My maintenance schedule and oil recipe has left my Cub as the only one still cutting. It has just seized the first spindle in all that time. I ordered in a new battery yesterday and I'll get it out of the trailer and into the shop later today.
It's been a couple of years since the Holley Electric conversion. I'm not sure if there is 12V to the pump in the start position but I will be checking that. I've got test leads and if there is no 12V at start I can easily test 12V constant. I let the pump operate a few seconds before starting. I was double dang sure the pump conversion would solve the issue. My factory pump is gutted and just a block off plate now. I see my member status is listed as new. Actually I've been here many years but have only been a "reader" until now. I appreciate the replies and don't hesitate to keep them coming.
