Really need more info, the symptoms, what's been checked...
A couple of things to check:
Starting, running, and dieing typically are symptoms of lack of fuel flow to the carb. There should be a drain plug in the bottom of the carb bowl. With the engine off, and the fuel valve on, remove the plug and see what you get. Catch the first fuel in a glass container and check for water and debris contamination. You should get a sustained flow of fuel. It should maintain a steady stream. If the flow slows to a stop or a drip, there is a restriction in the tank, line, the carb inlet fitting, or the needle and seat. Even though some of these components may have been replaced, it is possible they could have quickly clogged if the tank is contaminated with loose rust.
The other thing to check is the ignition system. Since this is an intermittent problem, the best time to diagnose the problem is when the problem exists. Be ready to check for spark at the plugs when the problem occurs. Common causes of intermittent spark loss are bad wiring connections between the battery, ignition switch, and coil. Also points out of adjustment, defective points, defective condenser, loose condenser, loose connection or improperly connected points can cause loss of spark. Another common problem is worn distributor bushings. Proper point gap is critical, if the bushings are loose, the points cannot be set.

Today's Featured Article - Upgrading an Oliver Super 55 Electrical System - by Dennis Hawkins. My old Oliver Super 55 has been just sitting and rusting for several years now. I really hate to see a good tractor being treated that way, but not being able to start it without a 30 minute point filing ritual every time contributed to its demise. If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
