I'd check for spark too. My buddy who just helped with mine, had me do it, shure enough no spark. But it wasn't nothing a little fine sandpaper couldn't fix. Sand between the points. They were slightly corroded. My engine sat for at least 12 years, but I did re'ring the pistons and had a local shop do the valve job. Only 120 bucks, and worth the peice of mind. But the rings were Ninety. So go figure. What I'm sayin' is for roughly 210 bucks, you could have a raped ape.
