OK. Now you need to see if it is not firing or no fuel. Spray some starting fluid in the air filter box and see if it starts for a few seconds.

If you run the engine low on oil the Timing is now off. Have To ,reset timing. Keep in mind this engine does not have a keyway crank pulley. Also you need the Proper timing tools.
