Did it run while you owned it and then one day didn't start? Or has it never run while in your possession? Have you tried spraying carb cleaner down the air intake and then try starting it? If it does not try to start, you can likely eliminate fuel issues as the culprit.

Yea it ran when I got it running one day then went to go out wheeling with a buddy and all it would do is turn over I have gas in my Carb and the spark plugs are wet I think I've got it narrowed down to electrical issues

I think they just went through this a few weeks ago. Dizzy cap and rotor have to be new to work. Water vapor gets in there and inhibits spark. Spray some silicone spray on wires as well.

Have you done a compression test? If not...I would start there. If you have low/uneven compression... thats your problem. If compression turns out fine, at least you know you have a healthy motor....

Compression is good around 165 across and the timing lines up with tdc and marks this one is even stumping the mechanics at the shop I work at

From what the cam gear says unless someone else did it wrong the thing is it ran one day and the very next day went to go out and all it did was turn over
