Assuming there is no moisture in the cap, and that the battery is charged well, and that there is fuel getting through the carb. The popping indicated issues with timing. (I heard you say it is in time) I didn't look closely at the first post, so here goes. Pull #1 plug. rotate the engine by bumping the starter until there is thumb pressure on the hole as #1 comes up on compression. carefully turn the engine By hand with the fan, or rolling it in high gear until the piston is at TDC. now look at the rotor and see if it points to the 1:30 position looking forward at the distributor. The points should just be at the point that they begin to open. Wiggling them with a thin screwdriver should produce spark at the coil wire if the ignition is turned on. If this is operational, and the wires are in the CW order of 1342, the system should be fine. Now check for serious vacuum at the carb intake (big rubber hose off) with your palm while cranking. If massive suck your hand hard vacuume is present, that seems correct. A defective rotor, or cracked cap would be my next guess. JimN
