As Jani says, you need to pull the valve cover and make sure the decompression valves are opening. You don"t say what it is doing when you try to start on gas, but this is one possibility. Also, are you sure you have the spark timing correct. Note that the distributor rotates counter clockwise when you face it. So the plug wires must be connected correct for that rotation. Also, if you have a magneto, it may be 180 degrees out of time and it won"t start then either. If it is 180 degrees out of time, or the plug wires are hooked for clockwise rotation, it will blow oil back out of the air cleaner.
