So far, I have performed the following steps. PLEASE add your advise on what I should do next. I am also posting this detailed update in hopes of helping someone else in the same situation.
Problem: Motor cranks but does not start. No popping, no sputtering at all.
Before I put it all back together, is there ANY THING else I should do/Check?
Thank you
Bill

- Checked for spark by using a screw driver in the spark plug wire 1/4" away from head. No spark
- Checked again with scredriver 1/8" from head. Blue spark present
- Just for the heck of it, I switched spark plug wired. squirted gas mix directly into cyl. Got a big backfire.
- Set spark plug wired back. Squirted mix directly into cyl.Got nothing. Cranks like crazy but does not even pop.
- Disassembled and cleaned out carburator/reinstalled. Tried starting, no result
- Mounted compression tester: Top Cyl. 80, Bottom Cyl 74
- Poured teaspoon of 30W oil in each cyl. Rechecked compression: Top cyl 110, Bottom 118
- Removed flywheel to check keyway. NOT sheared
- Checked point gap: One was at 20K the other about 3K. Set both to 20K.
Before I put it all back together, is there ANY THING else I should do/Check?
Thank you
