I can't get the timing right on my 801

Posted by joesaladino on April 11, 2012 at 19:37:19 from (96.254.128.155):

My 801 barely starts, then sputter, coughs and finally dies. It sounds like it's out-of-time. I turned the flywheel until the 4 degree mark was visible in the timing port and made sure the rotor was at the number 1 wire position in the distributor with the points just beginning to open. The wires are properly connected for the firing order 1 2 4 3 (number 1 being the front cylinder and the rotor turning clockwise). The carburetor has just been completely rebuilt. I checked the timing marks under the timing gear cover and they line-up properly. When I try to start the engine, it misses badly. Does anyone have a suggestion that might help?
