Another major step forward today. The engine after all my work on it was fired up for the first time. Yesterday I finally got it to cough on quick start. Turns out after much head scratching that the points had oxidized from sitting for just over a year. After cleaning them I had very strong blue sparks at the plugs. Today I hooked up a fuel line and it fired right up. It’s only been run for about 10-20 seconds a couple of time since I don’t have the radiator hooked up yet.
