i have an A with belly mower that has run well and started easily for 5 years, with the exception or 2 blown D-21's...but that's another story. I was recently cutting and just lost a little power in mid-cut, basically had to drop down a gear from normal and still bogged down easily. suspecting only 3 cylinders firing, I checked plugs first and found a little oil on 2 of them so i changed them and made a note to check oil level. I already had a points, condenser, rotor kit so i did that too. the oil was significantly overfull, how i did that i don't know but i dropped her to the low petcock and then added a quart. now the problem... i can't even get it to start! here are the things ive tried:
set points twice with .020 feeler
checked condenser conections twice
pulled each plug and found spark in all when touched to the frame
did the thumb test on compression and all 4 seemed about the same
cleaned air filter and put in new oil
confirmed that gas gets to carb - leaks out when choke left on
also, there is no apparent engine sound change or difference in exhaust properties
HELP!
I don't know what to check next!
When i unbolted the mag. to replace the condenser could i have messed up the timing? also, if i get her to start, any thoughts on the lost power?
SORRY THIS IS SO LONG, BUT I WANTED TO GIVE ALL THE FACTS...ANY THOUGHTS ARE APPRECIATED. Im no mechanic but no dummy either, also, i take citicism well, and know when to follow the advice of those wiser than i am. thanks in advance.

He had over a period of months spent a fair amount of his hard earned cash on replacement parts for the old "trembler" ignition. Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
