I bought this complete engine at an estate sale and found the ignition coils to be cracked and bad. I replaced them a couple years ago and rebuilt the carb at that time, cleaned out the fuel tank, petcock, etc, and put a new water pump in it at that time as well. I could never get it to start, so i shelved it. I took it out of storage last week and replaced the points and condensers and have spark. I cannot get it to start, even by spraying 2 stroke oil/fuel mix into the carb at all. It will only backfire. The low speed screw is set to 1.5 turns out, but i have tried it just about everywhere. I have compression and new plugs that are gapped correctly. Points are gapped correctly as well. I am posting some photos of the timing setup to see if anything stands out that I've incorrectly reassembled. I had it all reassembled and it still did not start. It just pops through the exhaust like I have the timing incorrect. I've even sprayed fuel directly into the cylinders and it will not run even for a little bit.
I hope you can all see these.
