if you completely rebuilt your engine i mean tore it all down and put it back together with new, ignition, new plugs, new fuel pump, rebuilt carb, new battery, new timing gears, re gapped points, and just about every other detail from cleaning the valves, 30 over pistons... my question is that if you did all this and more what would be the things you would check if it wasnt running... it will turn over but wont actually start

First off, You need fuel and fire, have you verified that both are present?

Gas is getting pumped through the carb, and you are getting a spark.

Check to make sure you are getting spark AT THE RIGHT TIME.

You might just be 180* off on the timing. happens very frequently!

Are you getting any pops and farts or is it just turning over? If you have spark and fuel I would agree that you are 180 degrees out.

Are your plugs wet when you pull them out? Can you smell fuel?

Dump some gas in the carb and if it starts its the carb thats causing the trouble, If not it is most likly the ignition.You allso mentioned that you replaced the timing gears. Did you make shure you did that right?
