Actually, I think you'll find that if the float is waterlogged (full of gas) it will sink and OPEN the fuel inlet, causing flooding. I had that problem with mine.
Unless you're killing the tractor by turning off the fuel and letting it run until it stalls, there should be gas in the carb even after it's been sitting for a few days. If it's dry, you have a leak somewhere draining the fuel out of the carb bowl.
If the carb is dry after cranking, you have a fuel inlet problem, either the float/needle assembly is sticking, the inlet filter is partially plugged (as it will start/run when pulled, it can't be completely plugged) or the fuel pump is too weak to push fuel past the filter at hand-cranking speed. When you pull it, the engine is turning over faster, running the fuel pump faster.
