Thanks for the suggestion banjopicker. Well, there was a spark in the points and from the high tension wire to ground, though it was not crisp and blue or consistent, it wouldn't jump 1/2 inch either, more like an 1/8, and it was more yellow than blue. I achieved this by replacing the high tension wire 'again', apparently the first replacement was, in fact, bad, even though it was brand new. Now, the engine really tries to start up, cranks for awhile before it catches, but I even had it running for about 3 or 4 seconds, but then it seems starved of fuel and dies. It has a new fuel pump, new lines, and the tank has been cleaned, and the carburetor has been rebuilt, could the float not be at the correct level? I adjusted with the gauge that came with the rebuild kit. Does it matter, is there something else I need to do, or do I just need to find that fine line between flooding the engine and starving it. Any help is appreciated.
