I'm using my 560 to move snow. The tractor runs great when I get it started, but it is tricky to start. If you pull out the choke while it's cranking it won't start. If the throttle is not closed totally while cranking it won't start. It will fire a few times, but not stay running long, then on the fourth or fifth try, and it's running a little longer each time, you can use the choke to keep it running, and slowly give it some throttle.
After I have it running you leave the choke out till it warms up a little (may have to hit the choke right when you take off), all things I consider normal. Once it's warmed up it runs great with the choke pushed in. The colder it is the worse it is to start. In the summer you don't use the choke till after it starts and tries to die, then I can keep it running with the choke. I think it is flooding it's self as I smell gas.
Thought about putting a heat lamp on the carb/engine, but there is hay in the shed I keep it in, and I'm uneasy with a heat lamp.
Is there a carb adjustment that would help, keeping in mind it runs great once I get it going. TIA
