Thanks Stuart! I replaced the starter and starter switch two days ago, and checked the spark at the coil yesterday, it is there just very weak. I have tried starter fluid in the carb with no luck. I sort of jimmy-rigged a tube to allow gas to flow into the carb as my next step. I'll double check the wiring order though...I think mine is set up incorrectly. I believe I am firing 142536...thank you for correcting me on that. I'm a rookie at this so I will have many more questions for you as I continue to restore my 1950. Thanks again for everyone's input. Zach
