My "A" was hard starting when I got it. I found a couple problems... First, it had the wrong carb, which was in poor condition. A correct carb helped a lot! Second, the valves were way out of adjustment. I went over them cold, and they were WAY out. Got them set loose cold, then warmed it up and set them hot. Did wonders for starting and running. Third, the plugs were a bit old and getting worn. Not bad, but new ones made it easier to start(mine is hand crank only). They were cheap too. Fourth, the California oxygenated and cracked gas does not hold well, even with stabalizer. I can really tell as the gas ages in the Farmall and in the small engines on mowers, chippers ect. Tuneup, fresh gas, and correctly set valves can work wonders, and is relatively cheap to do.
