I am looking for suggestions for trouble shooting my 64 2000 4 cyl gas engine that is not starting. The tractor started when I parked it. I checked valve lash, had front cover off to replace seals, new guts in distributor, new cap and wires, new plugs, reset timing, put on a new carb. When I go to start the engine it cranks over and will speed up like trying to fire the slows back down and then fuel will start poor out of the breather intake of the carb. It will not start when trying starting fluid. Is this a timing or bad valve setting, or did I not put governor together wrong?
 

When they won't fire on ether the ignition is suspect, especially when the distributor "guts" have been out and back in. With the ignition switch on do you get spark at the points when you pull them open?
 
It didn't fire when using starting fluid? So we have a electrical issue! We had the timing cover off?? The original wiring has the battery wire from the switch to the coil running just below the water pump. Just above the timing cover. Do we have electricity to the coil? "new guts in the distributor"? Do we have electricity out of the distributor? "Reset timing"? Why? Probably not the issue unless you removed distributor
