yup, everything Cowman said, plus a little more. If the carb, timing, mag, plug wires, and plugs are right, these old girls will cold start in 1-2 cranks if your technique is correct.

Here is what an old timer taught me:

with the mag grounded, 1/3-1/2 throttle, full choke. Turn engine over 2-3 times. Set choke off, set mag to 1/3 advance, leave throttle alone. Start at the 6 o'clock position, and give a quick up pull, cupping your hand, making sure not to wrap your thumb around the crank handle. Most of mine (except the cantankerous F-12) start on 1-2 pulls. Everytime. When warm, no need for choke or to turn engine over with the mag grounded.

An F-series tractor, when right, starts EASY..........but everything has to be right. BTW, the above instructions assumes that the fuel has been turned on for long enough to fill the carb bowl.
