Not sure what might be getting you, but I had a wierd thing
happen on my F-12 that you might check. When I painted
it, I plugged up the tiny breather hole in the top of each gas
cap and it created a vacuum that would make it hard to
pump gas. Try starting it with the gas caps unscrewed a
little (listen for a whoosh when you loosen them).

Better yet, first check to see that the carb has fuel. Undo
the drain screw slightly on the rear carb bottom and see if
gas comes out. If it does, this is probably not your issue.

I have also found that the points inside the magneto are
prone to getting some sort of glaze on them. Just a piece
of index card rubbed through the plates a couple of times
fixes it temporarily.

Good luck!
