One way that you are going wrong is in being sure that you are getting enough gas. I have two newer 4 cyl gas Fords. I have noticed that any time that they don't fire up pretty quickly, especially the one that is six volts, when cold, that gas will run out of the carburetor. ALWAYS. I believe that this is just a fact of gravity with an updraft carb. So don't let this be an indication of getting too much gas because it is normal. A cold motor needs a very strong gas mixture in order to fire, especially in very cold weather. I don't see anything in your information about cranking speed, which is always going to be slower when it is colder. I also don't see anything about setting timing. Setting timing for an electronic ignition is very different from points. I had this situation last year with one of mine. I tried to static time it and got way off. You should probably make some reference marks on the bottom of the distributor and try different settings. You will probably need to watch the number one plug to see when it fires while turning by hand.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
