Here is an update to that post, I took the carb apart and it looks fine (it is just about a year and a half old) I put it back on and it wouldn t even fire on starting fluid. I tried timing the magneto, I think I got it right. It still won t work though. I don t know if it doesn t have enough ignition or what, but pretty much everything in the magneto is brand new or just replaced a month or so ago. I checked the compression in the number 2 cylinder and it was 75 which seems a little low but I don t think that is the problem considering it was running fine.
Also, here is a video of the spark plug. I don t know if you can tell if it has enough ignition or not.
