John,
I have had this happen before. A f12/f14 should be a easy starter and a good runner. If it is not, then you have start at the beginning. Biggest problem is that you have not seen it running. OK....here"s the steps I go through:
1)Timing: Make sure the cap is not the problem; I prefer to change caps just to make sure. The old ones are very pourous and will allow shorting if they have any humidity.
2)Make sure the firing order is correct: 1-3-4-2
3)Make sure the timing is is correct and not 180 degrees out of time. Done that embarassing thing a bunch of times. I cranked my arm off once and then found I was off on time and order. Flooded it out big time.
4)Make sure a mouse has not plugged up the intake port. 1&2 are are on the front intake port; 3&4 on the rear.
5)Make sure the float level is correct; bowl free from dirt and varnish
6)On new rebuilds or when they sit too long, I pull the plugs and drag it (pull start) for a couple hundred feet to get it all freed up. Put in a little WD-40 in the cylinder to free up the rings for compression. Then replace the plugs and try to start it.

Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
