When you timed it, did you make sure that you had the #1 cylinder on the compression stroke? It"s a four stroke machine so it fires on every other revolution so you can have the timing mark correct but be on the exhaust stroke. You have to time on the compression stroke.
Are you sure the firing order is correct?
What"s the spark look like. It should be FAT AND BLUISH-WHITE, the color of lightning. if it"s yelowish or reddish or even blue, that"t not a good spark. What condition is your distributor? Check for bushing wear by getting the points closed and pushing radially (from the side) at several different directions watching the points. ther eshould not be any motion. if you have a dial gauge, the tolerance is something like 0.002".
Run some paper between the points; they may have a film on them. With the ignition ON, check to make sure that you have battery voltage at the battery side of the coil with the points closed and near zero volts on the distributor side of the coil. If you don"t have battery voltage on the battery side look for a bad connection or high resistance between the battery and the coil. If you don"t have near zero on the distributor side, you don"t have a good ground.
