I should also note that i am getting gas cause i took the drain screw out the carb and the bowl was full of gas.
How long did you leave the screw out? If you only drained your bowl, you could still have a low flow problem.
The ultimate fuel test is apparently to pull the choke all the way out and try to start it for five or six seconds. Then pull out two of the spark plugs to see if they're wet from fuel.
My problem ended up being a throttle link clip between the intake manifold and the block that disrupted the fueled air flow. If you've had the intake off, you might check for that.
Yes, if you have a weak spark, filing or replacing the points could help. But if you had it running, you should really rule out fuel disruption before replacing other parts needlessly.
