Walter,

My 60 likes Chuck W's approach. That is, very little throttle, full choke, then start slowly moving the choke to 0 in about 10 seconds after it's started. If I do something else, I sometimes get the results you describe. That only happens when it has sat for a week or so, like you say. After running up to 3 or 4 days before, it starts at about any setting. We - my 60 and me - have learned to live with this procedure and leave it at that.

Walter, if it has an oil pressure operated fuel shut off suspect the carb is running out of fuel before the fuel shut off is opening & letting the fuel into the carb. If that is the case.. [verify by unscrewing the knurled knob on the fuel shut off & holding the knob down until the fuel quits swirling in the sediment bowl, if that eliminates the stalling you have isolated the problem].. suspect a plugging carb or strainer screen, lazy oil pressure, or malfunctioning shut off, coupled with the fact the carb is loosing some of it's fuel when sitting.
~If it doesn't have an oil pressure controlled fuel shut off post back & we'll make other suggestions.....

Hello Walter.When you run the tractor before shutting it down let it run out of gas and then shut the ignition off.Unless you have a manual shutoff you can do this and have fresh gas when you get ready to start it.If you have the oil pressurized shutoff assembly you will not be able to do this.My father had an old tractor that if we did not do this to it than we would foul the plugs trying to start it,and liked to never got it to start after long settings.Later and good luck,Jack(TN).

sounds like you're starting with toooo much throttle....start it just above idle, with full choke.
