Have it wired up and timed properly, but even though I'm getting spark it won't run. Does the green wire coming BACK from the starter switch give 12V to the coil? I've poured gas in the carb and gotten it to back-fire and then fire a few times, but now it just cranks and nothing. I couldn't find which wire went to the START tab on the key, so I jumped power from RUN to START....any help deciphering the electrical would be appreciated!
