I've not been able to work on it since Saturday (I'm a pastor, so Sundays are pretty busy for me). I'm hoping to work on it Tuesday evening.
I should have mentioned that when I noticed the float not sitting at the proper angle, I adjusted it so that it conforms to what I read was supposed to be the proper height (parallel with the float bowl).
As a recap, I've replaced all the parts on the carb, adjusted the float level, tested fuel flow through the carb drain, measured the fuel level on float bowl (see picture), hand tested for proper vacuum, measured the compression, and replaced the condensor and points (last year).
The only thing I've not yet checked that was recommended here on the forum is to see if spraying starter fluid into the carb throat will make it run. I plan to check that on Tuesday evening.
Not that it really matters, but I am trying to get this tractor running in order to sell it. We sold our place in the country and moved into town because of work, so I have no need of it anymore.
I greatly appreciate everyone's help and insight. Thank you!

But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
