Reciently changed alternator, and was running fine.
coolant hose popped off the head, did not overheat, reattached hose restarted fine filled with water ran until warmed up seemed fine. next day went to start engine just cranks but does not turn over. checked spark, compression, and fuel all is ok, but will not turn over. tried to compression start will run breifly but will not stay running. any ideas?

Hi sagehess,

Carb or injected model?

Looks like a fuel problem.
