W4's have a low pick up point in the gas tank so they get all the crap. Put a fuel filter in-line. If you are getting gas at the carb, check to see if it is flooding out of the side air intake. If so, there should be no fuel probelm.
There are 2 things a engine needs to start 1-fuel: 2-spark. First, pull off a high tension lead and see if you have spark to a ground source when you crank the engine. If not start tracing the power. Chances are the points are stuck, corroded, and the condensor corroded. Change these. With the ignition on, and the points in the closed position (rotate engine if needed) flick the points apart and see it you have spark. If there is no spark between the points check to see if there is power at the connection. If you have power and spark at the points but not at the plug, check to see if there is power on your coil. If there is power on the coil and spark at the points, change your coil.

Hope this helps!
