It is time to familiarize yourself with the basic tests required to verify that all of the following are functioning correctly.
1) Adequate spark at the correct time. A multi-meter would be needed for testing the voltage coming from the ignition switch to the coil. Clean the points and set them at .018 if they are used, .022 if new.
2) Compression. It is best to do this with a fully warmed up engine if possible. I cold compression test is only useful for finding an extremely weak cylinder (faulty valve/broken or stuck rings).
3) Delivery of adequate air/fuel. This would include checking for obstructions in gas tank and fuel lines, weak fuel pump, dirty carburetor, vacuum leaks.
I strongly suggest that you make these tests in the order listed.
Keep us posted on your progress and if you have any specific questions along the way, ask away. Some of us never sleep.
