It's very likely that you're just flooded. It'll never start in that condition.
Try this -
Turn the gas off to the carb. Let it sit for a while - like 20 minutes.
Then try starting it as normal - but with the gas off. (be sure to choke it)
When the carb has too much gas in it, it's just not going to work right - But as you crank the engine, it's going to draw gas out of the carb.
If the gas line is shut off (and IS truely shut off - assuming if you've taken the carb off, the shutoff valve IS turning the gas off) then cranking the engine will slowly empty the carb until it hits the magical point where it flows properly and will actually start the engine.
If it does start, it should run long enough to all you to quickly turn the gas back on and you're up and running.
If it fires a few times but doesn't start - you might need to refil the carb and try again - open the gas line for 10 seconds or so to fill it up.
If that process works - it's then your choice - you can either always start the tractor that way - or adjust your floats to keep it from flooding.
