Sorry, Mike. Couldn't resist.

Do the fuel flow test, as others have described. Remember, a STEADY stream roughly the size of the plug, for several minutes.

After encountering trouble, did you clean out the sediment bowl and examine the contents?

If you did, why didn't you tell us what you saw? If you didn't, why not do it now and let us know?

As Dell says, we all flunked mind-reading.

Mike i liked your reply and have to say my dell died a couple weeks ago from me droping it LOL
well anyway the sediment bowl is clean but i haven't done the flow test_didn't even think of it so i will do that this weekend but i did pull the carb off after the fact just to see how much fuel was in the bowl_ i did this with 2 people as to not dump the fuel and the bowl was only half full so i am going to check the float ajustment and by the way i have a gateway now LOL

Why take the carb apart BEFORE checking the fuel flow? That"s like doing surgery for obesity BEFORE trying diet and exercise.

Isn"t it much easier to pull the drain plug than remove, disassemble, and then re-assemble a complicated thing like a carb?

The bowl was probably half-full because some of the gas had evaporated out. This is one major reason why gravity-feed systems have a provision for shutting off the gas. Otherwise the gas slowly evaporates out through the carb...

A much better way to check carburetor operation than taking it apart is to substitute a carb from another tractor that runs well. The tractor doesn"t have to run perfectly with the substitute carb, it just has to lose the symptom in question (in this case, not starting). So, don"t tweak the carb, leave it set up for the OTHER motor!!!

Not always practical, but when practical leaves NO DOUBT as to whether or not the carb is causing the problem in question.
