Wont start. Cranks but won't turn over. I checked noise from fuel pump it there. I did tune up. Got half tank gas.

This sounds like a fuel issue so we need to start from the basics by checking the pressure. Here is a guide that will help with this:

Just because you hear the pump does not mean that the pump is creating the needed pressure.

If the pump checks out then here are two guides that will get us through the next steps:

Let us know what you find with this and we can go from there but let me know what the pressure is first and foremost. Thanks
