Do you have spark? are you getting fuel?

Posted by: ThrashAndCrashUntilItsTrash

Check the valve clearance, .003 in.
Compression 156 psi +- 14 psi
Plug gap .024- .028 in
Do not just asume you have fuel. Check the filter in the petcock. You may also want to pull off the fuel bowl to see if there is any varnish in there.

Have to ask,but are you getting the basics? Fuel,spark,compression? Switch is to "run"??

if everything else seems to check out I would check to make sure the timing is right. And make sure the carb is set right.
