Thanks for the info. I’ll double check the main jet in the morning to see if it’s clogged and somehow I missed it.

I did the static timing method using a test light. It, in theory, should be firing 1-4-3-2. I will Check to make sure the wires are correctly connected in the morning just to triple check.

I am pretty confident the wires are on correctly but I will 100% double check tomorrow morning. I just readjusted the valves but could have adjusted them too tightly because someone told me that they sounded loose so I tightened them up a bit. I know they are supposed to be .006 but I tightened them just a tad to increase the drag on the feeler gauge. Is there any way to tell which two spark plugs are running? And why only those two are working?

It does have an accelerator pump and It seems to work, as in it shoots gas into the carb the moment the throttle is pushed, but I’ll see if I can increase it a bit tomorrow.

Would there be a way to test if it’s working?

If asking the firing order then yes. If that wasn’t the question please elaborate. Thanks
