Last year I put new rings and pistons in my 60 and i did a value job. The tractor started after the overhaul last october and I ran it 3 or 4 hours . I then put it in storage for the winter. Now i go to start it and it won't fire. I pulled the plugs and they are not wet with fuel. I am getting a good spark, but there is no fuel getting to the plugs. I did a compression check and each cylinder has 92lbs, so i assume i have vacumn enough to draw gas. I took the carb off and it looks wet in the throat so i assume its geting gas. What else can i look for? The small screw at the bottom on the carb bowel, what effect does that have on the carb? How do you adjust it?

Charlie, that small screw on the bottom of the carb is the load screw & is adjusted to allow the engine to pull good under load & still get decent economy. It can effect the running under load but shouldn't effect the starting.
~First, are you sure the carb is getting a GOOD SUPPLY of gasoline? Open the carb drain valve & look for about 4 oz. of fuel to come out, then unscrew the knurled nut on top of the fuel strainer & hold the knurled nut down for about 20 seconds, you should be getting a stream of fuel out of the carb drain as long as you hold that knurled nut down [if not you have a blockage in the fuel system somewhere]. If you are getting a good fuel supply to & through the carb, re-check the spark with both spark plugs still in the engine & install another plug in each plug wire for a test for spark [sometimes the compression load on the starter will lower the system voltage enough to weaken the spark].
~It wouldn�t hurt to install new spark plugs just to eliminate that as a cause of your problem.
~The usual cause of a tractor not starting after sitting for a while is oxidized points, followed by gum or rust build up in the carb. Take an old [known good] spark plug & open the gap to 3/16�, then install that in one plug wire at a time & lay on the block, then crank the engine, you need a blue spark to jump tat 3/16� gap for the engine to start. If you are getting a good blue spark suspect the carb being gummed up inside.
