Do we know - - not guess or believe but KNOW if this is fuel or spark related? Have there been any basic tests performed?
Spark:
Thatch keeps an old spark plug laying on the head at the alternator/lifting eye bracket. Pulling a plug wire off of a spark plug and plugging it onto the spare is an easy test for spark and all the parts are at your fingertips. The test plug laying on the head is sufficient ground for the test.
Fuel:
Is there fuel inside the carburetor? Remove the main passage plug with a catchment underneath and see if fuel comes out.
These are the most basic and simple tests, not intended for an AHA! moment but to point the troubleshooting in the right direction.
