2 gauge cable, ground runs from neg terminal to a lug on the flywheel housing just above the starter where the braided ground lands. all connection points were sanded and bright and shiny before bolting them up Blue spark on all 6 plugs, gaps set to spec.
I tried setting timing per the manual. #1 at TDC on the compression stroke, rotor pointed at #1 wire. Points just barely opening, Octane setting set to zero Won't start. Swapped wires 180 out. Won't start.
Had my daughter hold down the starter and withe the octane setting bolt loose but tight enough to hold the dizzy in position i slowly advanced and the retard the Dizzy. Nothing. Still won't start. Change wires 180 and tried again, Nothing.
Each time there was gas in the manifold and a quick shot of ether in the carb. Key was on and choke was closed. Battery is fully charged. Tried everything above with half choke and no choke. Still nothing.
The only thing i haven't gotten into is timing with a light, timing on vacuum and a compression test. Because i don't have the tools and can't get it to run.
