I think there is a small pipe plug in the bottom of the carb. Carefully remove that plug and clean the hole then reinstall the plug only snug. When the tractor stops running remove the plug and observe the gas flow out the hole. It should be a continuous stream nearly the size of a pencil. Anything other, then the fuel supply line is clogging at the fuel tank. To fix the clogging problem install (solder or epoxy) a barb fitting in the fitting that screws into the fuel tank. Prior to inserting the fitting back into the tank connect a length of flexible gas hose to the barb and feed all that into the tank. Then fish the hose out thru the fuel filler hole in the tank and connect a generic inline fuel filter small enough to drop thru the fuel filler into the tank. Now you have a filter that you can service from time to time. I always buy the largest size filter I can get that will fit thru the filler hole, lasts longer.
