Piston in cylinder one visible at top. Also stuck finger in plug hole to verify compression stroke. Put distributor on - lined up correctly. Verified spark from distributor by taking #4 spark plug out and watching for spark on each compression stroke. Made sure new plug wires going to correct cylinder in 1-3-4-2 firing order. Rotor rotating clockwise. Took off distributor cap and removed plug #1 and with finger in #1 cylinder hole watched rotor rotate and compression and rotor position and all appears to be correct. Put the plug back in and dist. cap back on and tried to start. Had sprayed starting fluid in cylinders. Starting fluid in carburetor air intake. Choked, turned on start switch; and no firing! I'm stumped. Any insight will be appreciated. Thanks John :)
