"Here I sit with a broken heart,
Took a handful of pills and my hog won't start."
Plug wires mixed up?

| I'm kind of bummed, the engine I've put so much time (and cash) into over the winter wouldn't start when I finally got to try it. I'm looking for any suggestions but I do know it's hard to diagnose over the internet. I'm getting spark (new plugs) I'm getting fuel (fresh gas) I'm not getting ANY attempts at actual firing I set the carb idle mixture screws as described in the manual (1.5 turns LH, 1.75 turns RH) I am fairly confident I followed the manual/Guzziology so that: 1)the cam drive gear meshes with the crank gear at the correct spot based on the paint marks 2)the distributor is in correct position relative to static timing mark (notch is at 6:00 when LH side reaches static timing mark w/ valves closed) Any ideas?
