I have a WD45 that suddenly one day quit running, I have not been able to get it to start for 2 months ! Things tried so far: New Points, New Coil (12 volt), new rotor and cap. It just does not seem to want to fire. Ignition is hot from switch to coil and from coil to distributor. Any Suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in Advance.

Do you have a good spark at the plugs? Are you sure it is getting gas?

Yes, It's getting "plenty of gas".

Keith,
Remove the dist cap, rotor and dust plate. Bump engine over untill the points are closed. With the ignition on, very carefully, with a screw driver, open the points. There should be a spark between the contacts. If there is no spark, the contacts are dirty or have an oily fingerprint on them or possibly the condensor is bad since you didn't say you replaced it. Take a piece of hard paper (like a matchbook cover), insert it between the contacts and drag it out. This will sometimes remove the contaminant. Duey

Thanks Duey, I'll give that a try. Kind of frustrating, I learned from my Ag Shop Teacher 28 years ago that only three things make or break a gasoline engine starting. 1)Fuel 2)Ignition 3)Cranking system. By the way I did replace Condenser (it came with kit). Keith

Make sure you check ignition switch, if switch is in off position or shorted out it will ground out your ignition system.
