I have a 1951 "A" that I am working on. Basically I have it all apart on the top end. Just put on a new head and it is all torqued down. Set the valves and it turns over well with the electric starter. Seems to have good compression as it was spitting all kinds of oil and gunk from the two cock valves on the bottom. SOOOOOO---- I decided to see if it would fire by pouring some raw gas down the intake side and cranked it with the starter.
At this point I would say -MAAAYYYbe a little belch of smoke from the right side exhaust - but now outstanding pops or putts!
I did not take the magneto off or even touched it at all. I did put on new plug wires and installed new spark plugs.
So - What am I forgetting??? What to try next???
