so been working away on the argo trying to get her running for the first time (for me)

I installed a 1-4psi Facet fuel pump with all new lines and fuel filter. drained the fuel tank and new fuel with oil.

the fuel is filling up the carb correctly and I have spark on both plugs so all good there. but no start even with quick start spray still nothing.

the plugs are getting wet big time from cranking.

I tried 100 times to dry cylinders brake clean dry the plugs re try and nothing. any thoughts?

since I am not using my factory fuel pump should the vacuum line from engine to stock fuel pump be unplugged and capped off?
