I have replaced everything electrical and the fuel system and it still runs very rough
What next?
What next?
(quoted from post at 11:30:21 09/16/22) How do I get a quarter inch spark and blue? And what is the easiest way to be sure that it is in time?
I am still not able to get it to start after cleaning the points and checking the rotor cap and rotor and I am getting some spark to each of the plugs

You can take an old spark plug and open the gap to 1/4 inch and use that to check for strong spark. I don't think it has to be blue or white.
You originally said that it still runs rough after replacing ignition and fuel system parts. Now you say it won't start at all. Is your battery fully charged? I don't remember if you said it's 6 or 12 volt.
Did you ever do a compression test?
When the new carb and electric was put on. The tractor ran well enough to run the bush hog and then it ran out of gas. When we put gas in it we were able to get it started once and it was very rough. No it does not start. I tried started fluid. But no luck(quoted from post at 09:53:03 09/19/22) The compression is good enough to run. One soft cylinder, but it should still start. What have you done between the time you replaced "all electrical and fuel and it still runs rough" and now that it won't start at all?
Have you tried starting fluid sprayed onto the carburetor intake?
At this point I would put the old carburetor back on and see if it will at least start.

I'm sure you are aware of the rotor turns counter clockwise .(quoted from post at 06:01:37 09/10/22) I have replaced everything electrical and the fuel system and it still runs very rough

If you have decent compression. Does it mean the valves are working properly?(quoted from post at 11:26:40 09/22/22)I'm sure you are aware of the rotor turns counter clockwise .(quoted from post at 06:01:37 09/10/22) I have replaced everything electrical and the fuel system and it still runs very rough

Working and sealing might be two different things.
Working I would consider opening and closing. Sealing would be working without leaking.
When you sort out other problem check compression on #2 with a few squirts of oil. If it comes up might be rings sealing. If not check valve lash. A too tight valve will cause low compression, as will bad valve/seat.
