What set up do you have for an ignition coil? Do you have the 6 volt coil and resistor, or did you acquire a 12 volt coil? Did the conversion include adding and alternator? If so most alternators require a change to a negative ground? If you changed the tractors battery polarity did you also change it on the coil circuit? On a negative ground system the wire from the distributor points should connect to the negative terminal of the coil and the power from the ignition or resistor connects to the positive coil terminal. This being reversed will not keep the tractor from running but it does keep the coil from producing optimum spark. Secondly, you may have flooded the engine. Now that it spins over much faster the amount of time full choke is needed may a bit less. I would suggest pulling a spark plug or two and see if they are gas soaked or dry. I see you first posted about this tractor in May 22 so the tractor has ran and been used since that time or is it a continued work in progress? I am just asking this because sometimes an engine that sets around and is occasionally started for a few minutes here and there can act much differently from one that see normal use and longer run times. Also just looking over the past few post you have made your feed back or answers to questions posted by others is nearly non-existent.
