Rebuilt motor, won't start. Has spark and gas. Any ideas?

ARE YOU SKILLED IN SETTING YOUR #1 PISTON TO TDC, OR IS THIS SOMETHING YOU SORTA HAVE DONE FOR THE 1ST TIME?

WHAT DOES A SQUIRT OF STARTER FLUID INTO THE THROTTLE BODY DO---RELENTLESS OVER AND OVERS. OR DOES IT SPIT AND SPUTTER LIKE IT MIGHT WANT TO BUST OFF?

NOT DOUBTING YOUR ABILITIES, SOMETIMES YOU (AND I) GET "FOCUSED" AND CAN'T CHANGE YOUR OWN MIND

OH YEAH!

ENGINE SIZE?

You may be 180 degrees off on the distributor. You may have set it on valve overlap instead of compression

IF YOU ARE BUMPING THE ENGINE TO FIND COMPRESSION STROKE--IT IS EZ TO BUMP TOO FAR, OR THE ENGINE ROLL BACK ON YOU

OR EVEN A DUMBER THING, YOU ROLL THE ENGINE THE WRONG WAY TO LINE UP YOUR MARKS!

NOT USING THE "REAL" #1 CYLINDER...IS SOMETHING I'VE SEEN TOO!

REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOU USE THE "STARTER" OR YOU ROLL THE ENGINE WITH A BIG RATCHET (I PREFER THE RATCHET), REMEMBER THIS:

........AFTER YOU GET THE "SPIT" AT YOUR FINGER, LINING UP YOUR TIMING MARKS TO "ZERO" OR "TDC" WILL BE ***LESS THAN 1/2 A CRANK TURN AWAY*** !!!, (USUALLY LESS THAN A 1/4 TURN)....IF IT'S MORE THAN A 1/2 TURN, YOU HAVE DONE SOMETHING WRONG

KEEP US POSTED
