was running great drove around, fine. shut it off with the throttle wouldn't start. drained the bowl let it sit fired back up is my float to high.
 
If it ran and drove around great then why would you think the float was off? Very high float or float/needle not shutting fuel off will black smoke and/or flood out. Most late "A' and "B" (designed to shut down with throttle) need a little choke to re-start even when warm. Little history would help. How long have you owned it? Has it always done it or just started doing this? Is it a magneto or dist. ignition? Wrong spark plugs? Carbon covered insulators on plugs? If I read your description word for word, I would assume after you drain the bowl, the tractor starts up? You didn't mention re-filling bowl? So how does it start on no fuel? Need more and better info.
 
i have owned it for three weeks. has wico mag. was told it hadn't ran in 20+ years. tore the carb apart cleaned. tore mag apart and cleaned. tore starter apart cleaned and noticed drive was broke. starter drive is only part i have bought.efore i tart restoring want to make sure everthing is working properly. alsoi would the operators manual have specs on timing specs carb specs?
 

Don't you know to shut the fuel OFF any time you shut the engine down..??

Sounds pretty simple to me from what you said...

Well now that I know a little history it tells me you need to start right from the beginning with timing etc since you can't know what was done or how it was done to this tractor. Op manual will tell some but the closest you will get to a good service manual (which is what you need,not "IT' manual)is the thick one for the "B" "SM 2004 " and/or go to www.jd2cylservice.com for details on mag timing etc. What carb do you have on it? My e-mail is open and can give you my phone # and can do a better job on your problem and carb corrections over phone.
