There is a fine gauze filter in the inlet to the carburetor. Make sure it is clean. If it is a kerosene/distillate engine then if thr starter tank is in the hood, later F-14 and all other 12 series, then there is gravity feed for starting. If it has the gasoline tank in the rear of the main tank then there is the small header unit standing up through the hood ahead of the fuel tank where it would be possible to prime the system with gasoline for starting. However, if is a straight gasoline tractor (of any of the 12 series), then if the carburetor is dry it can take a whole lot of cranking before one is able to smell gasoline in the exhaust. Most of the fuel from the pump goes straight back to the tank and only some from the T fitting ahead of the tank makes its way to the carburetor. Once they are running they are great but I have spent considerable effort cranking before starting my O-12 if it has been sitting for a while.
