I went to set my point gap and it was already on spot, I went ahead and cleaned up the contact though while I was down there.

I have tried several times to get her started by:
removing the spark plugs and spraying starter fluid into the cylinders (My plugs are not fouled, and they get spark)

I was using the choke and the plugs were wet.

ok guys, i am once again stumped...
