Thought I would come back with a bit of an update since my old thread was deleted....

I got her to fire after day's of tinkerin with the damn thing,checking continuity through the whole harness,checking voltage,everything hooked up correctly,yadda yadda....After almost giving up,it turn's out it was the rotor causing problem's.Between the 3 rotor's I have I found that they were all just a fraction of being different length's which I found is odd.The longest and oldest produced spark.I still don't think it's jumping the gap to hit the plug's as it idles a bit rough still but also need to tune.

I would like to say thank's to those that helped with ideas and will be back.This site is great,thank's guy's!

Can someone confirm if I have my floats set right?

Drop-1-29/32 from gasket to toe and 3/4 from gasket to middle seam on float..

I finally got her purrin like a baby kitten,after fighting and cursing I finally figured it out and feel totally dumb! It was the spark plug's giving me grief as they were black and fouled.Put in a new set and it fired right away,The old one's were new from last season but were bad.
