Hi,

Make sure all of the connections and grounds are clean. Do you have 12v at the coils? Have a look at the electrical section of my website for troubleshooting tips.



Thank you for your indulgence,

Do you have points or an aftermarket ignition?

Pull that round cover on the right side and see what you have

So you haven't heard it run? Then start at Basscliff's site as a guide. Pull a plug out and with plug wire attached hold it against engine and ( with ignition on) hit starter- does it spark?
Some one else will surely grill you on carb cleaning- what's the hurry to rebuild? Has it been idle for a long time?
