This is a stumper. From all the posts on this thread it seems the thing should fire up and run. Where are you located?

He is in Ill.

I've put fuel in the plug hole and tryed either in carb and cylinder. I've worked on things like this for 35 years. Was an auto technician for 20 years. I know my way around a toolbox. Only thing unsure to me is points. I'm using a buzzer inline to check timing. Timed it 1 complete round plus .25 on dial indicator BTDC. I did replace the key switch early on. Is it possible I did something wrong there. I have spark during crank but could I be missing something there? Only other question in my mind is losing spark under compression. Spark plug always seems dry when I take it out though. Crankcase seems mostly dry

New plug in. No change

Did you try a little gas down the spark plug hole? If you have spark and the compression is good and you are sure the timing is correct, then I would say it's fuel. Try some fuel down the spark plug hole. Torque the plug back in and see what happens. You might get the spark plug a little too wet so if you pull it a couple of times and nothing happens, pull the plug and clean it off, then put it back in and try again.

I've tried new and old plugs. Still have new ones to use though

I have a champion D9 spark plug in it. What should it be?

D9 is correct.

I'm off work tomorrow and have time to mess with it. Any suggestions?

Is your plug new??? If not get a new one.
Good luck

Compression is 135 ish. Cylinder was honed with fresh Piston and rings.

Well it still wont start on starting fluid. Wont even try to start. Has compression and spark. Im at a loss.

What is the compression?

Ok. Both seals are replaced. I've got the dial indicator set up. I have the manual but I want your opinion. What exactly should I set the point gap at and the timing BTDC

Point breaker gap: .014-.018, I usually put mine about .017, I have found that it is easier to get the correct reading from the dial gauge.
Timing before TDC: .118-.138, I try to get somewhere in the middle (about .125) but anywhere in that range will work.
When I set the point gap I pull the cam off of the flywheel and set it with just the cam, that way I can get in there easily and make sure I have it adjusted correctly. The cam comes off by removing the three screws on the back.
When I set the timing with a gauge and timing light I use a drill bit to hold the advance. Just remember not to push the bit in too far because it will hit the stater. Just put it in enough to hold the advance in place.
When you adjust the timing, turn the flywheel a little past your timing point and then turn it back to the timing point. That way if there is any play in the engine you will will get a good reading.
Let me know how it goes.
