how did you shut it off? did you check to see if the oil has gas in it? if you open the adjustment screws on the carb to much i guarantee you that you fouled the plugs. the correct pocdeure for shuting it off is to cut the gas off going to the carb, put it in netural and engage the clutch. it will burn off all the excess gas this way and not flood the engine when your trying to crank it the next time. buy a owners manula and a parts manual and a shop manual for it. i think you have to buy one for a b but its the same procedures for either tractor. some parts aren't the same, but exploded views in there will help you work through any problems you have. do a serach on p browning and go to his web site for ordering info. he'll probably come on here shortly and tell you where any way. he's good about helping.

Check to see if plugs are fouled. My "B" will do the very same thing. We don't work them hard enough, and this modern $3 a gallon gas is not as good as the old "leaded" stuff we used to get.

Dale that is double nonsense, plugs do not then "unfoul" themselves when they cool down, they stay fouled so this is NOT the reason for this common behavior.

And current gasoline is the BEST ever thanks to technologies that couldn't even be conceived of back when... The only thing leaded gasoline did was to poison our children which is why the EPA got rid of it and good riddance. That stuff was pure retardo in a can, real evil stuff.

axe, you need to find out if you have a decent spark after it warms up some and at starting speeds. In general if they have spark and gas they will run or at least try to. Best help will come when you can properly describe the "trying to run" symptoms a bit better. Please include "smells of gas", backfires, smokes blue, smokes black, etc. Does it have an electric starter? Does it have a mag? Have you tried choking it and what happens when you do? More info from you is required...

This is one of the more difficult problems to find a solution for, weak mags, bad gas, and carb not adjusted correctly will all cause a hot start problem. Bad plugs, bad wires and even Tuesdays don't seem to help any. Any mixture of these and other problems with bad advice just compounds things even worse, best of luck.
