Ok, I do want to thank everyone again for all of there help along the way.
Here is an update on how my mower is starting now that it has gotten hot and into the mid 90s. I use my mower all the time now with my trailer behind it. That was one of the best things I could have done with it.
I know I have started it at least 300 times and it has yet to not start not even once. It starts right up.
Before I swapped out the carb it wouldn't start once or twice out of 20 times until it cooled down. So my conclusion is that it was the carb from the beginning. I did learn a lot along the way and I'm sure I have a way better tractor because of it. I guess it's a tractor now since I took the deck off of it. LOL

This will be my last post here unless something changes.

Have a great summer all.

Since I'm here to ask a question I might as say one more thing about my mower. I also found out that as long as the battery is fully charged it starts much faster. So the carb and the battery was the best fix.
