b) Squirt some starting fluid into the carb -- if it doesn't try to run, you have an ignition problem.

I did w/ no result and yes I already know I have an ignition prob.

it is a champion but does autolite make a H10C?

Points are a pain and hi maintainance
Set the points to spec and make sure clean with a white paper.

Does it have compression?
Roll over by hand and try to get a "feel" for it if you dont have a compression gauge.
"Feel" the compression of a known good one and compare the two.

I usually start with a new plug (also high maintainance part). Even if the old one looks good.

Good user name.

Yes there is gas getting out of the carb.
The points are clean but I will replace them with new points, just to be sure.
Yes has compression.
I have a new plug. Never used before I tried starting it.

I am having my uncle look at for he is a personal mechanic.
