KISS formula- usual thing violated by newbies. Do what John T. says, along with Walt. Don"t assume major components are defective- most problems are little stuff. Big stuff does not fall apart while sitting still, so electrical contact points are the usual culprits. Sitting for a year- might just need cleanup of points, etc. Original WD had a magneto...makes spark by itself while turning over. Same principle with contacts. Distributor would be an upgrade, needs good battery, coil, to operate. Either way, start at the beginning of the spark, follow through all components. Engine should fire if it gets spark (at the right time), fuel, and has compression. Beyond that, it is tuning.
