First off you need to learn some simple terms and when and how to use them. Cranks means the engine is turning over to try to start. So it is cranking over but not starting right?? That said trouble shoot then parts NEVER the other way around or you will add to the problem plain and simple. #1 check and make sure you have a good blue/white spark at the center wire of the distributor and at the 4 plug wires that will jump a 1/4 inch gap or more. No spark means point are dirty or gaped wrong or not getting power to the coil. #2 pull the carb drain plug and make sure you get a good steady flow of gas that will fill a pint jar in less then 3 minutes. No or slow gas work you way back to where it flows good. #3 pull the air cleaner tube off and hold you hand over the carb while cranking it over with the ignition on. You should both feel a good suction and also get gas on your hand. If either does not happen you may have low compression or a vacuum leak. Or it may even try to start. #4 check the spark plugs and make sure there not wet. Wet plugs mean fouled plugs and foul plugs cannot fire. Now days I use NGK3112 plugs because they seem to hold up better

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.
