I had the carb on my 52'JD 60 rebuilt this spring but Ive been noticing that it still drips at the idle needles and the metering screw occasionally. So i took the carb off today and adjusted the float so that there would be less fuel in the bowl. When I put it back on, the tractor wouldn't start. However, the carb was not flooding (at least nothing like it had this spring) so I took the flywheel cover off to look at the starting motor. The starter extends but does not turn when the foot pedal starter is compressed. I tried to jump the tractor and noticed that the starter was spinning the flywheel when jumped, but apparently not fast enough to start the tractor. Am I looking at a carb problem or a starter that needs to be rebuilt? Thank you for your time.
