    Three things to consider:

    1) fuel delivery - fuel pump, fuel filter, carburetor

    2) timing & ignition

    3) compression

    If your engine has been rebuilt and the timing is on, my bet is that your carburetor is not working properly.

    Hi,

    Put a tbl spoon of gas in the carb then start it. If it starts it`s a gas problem. If it dosent it is spark problem,.
