Fuel isn't the issue, I rigged up a can w fresh gas that feeds directly into a new fule pump and through a cleaned out fuel line to the filter bowl and then the carb (thanks to some great advice from people on Stovebolt!). It is getting fuel to the carb. I did check the timing and it is ok. Plenty of spark.
I tried putting gas in the sparkplug holes, since this always worked for me with a 2-cycle lawnmower engine - it always would fire with that little bit of gas in there. Not happening with my Apache unfortunately.
I think I am going to get the brake lines fixed next so I can pull it safely and try to get it going that way. Any other advice welcome!
