"You've got spark. Fuel in

"You've got spark. Fuel in Carbs. Plugs are dry. Then you're not drawing fuel into the cylinders. (Old trick to test that assumption - take out a plug, hold a lighter next to the spark plug opening, crank the engine and see if the lighter ignites any fuel-air mixture coming out of the plug port - if so, you have a spark problem. If not, you have a fuel problem.) Check the throat of the carb for fuel residue - if so, then check the carb linkage and make sure the throttle baffle is opening. Check the timing (static) and do a compression check."
 
"little white thing on top of
