SPARK, BUT NO START

Posted by jason smith on March 20, 2006 at 19:57:27 from (209.143.29.23):

I have a 1940 farmall H that i recently put a new head and rings on. well,needless to say, it won't start. It has spark and is timed properly(i have timed it before and it has new spark plugs).I was also extremely careful to realign the marks on the camshaft and the distrubuter asembley( which i didn't take apart at all). I tried taking out the spark plugs and spraying in starter fluid to at least see if it would fire. It didn't. I took apart the carb (which i had degreased and painted) and made sure the float wasn't stuck or something obvious like that. I had also ground off all the rust from the manifold and painted that. The gass runs freely from the line when you take it off the carb. any ideas will be a great help. Also, could someone tell me the settings(in turns) for the mixture screws on bottom and front of carb. I set the valve tappet clearance at 0.014 as the manual suggested. The only thing i did with the governer was take it off and clean the outside. the engine has all new gaskets and the head is torqued to the recommended settings. thanks alot, you guys are great.
