Ok, so I rebuilt the water pump, lower assembly got a new (used) upper, new shift cable, shift cable bellows, driveshaft bellow, 2 new exhaust elbows, and exhaust bellows. Cleaned the spark arrestor and installed a new fuel filter.
Now she won't start, but cranks fine. I looked down the throat of the carb, and it squirts gas when the throttle is actuated. Pulled the coil wire from the distributor, which shocked the crap outta me (my test for spark). Tested that the neutral safety switch wasn't grounding the coil line.
Any idears? Dirty Fuel? Bad Distributor Cap? It ran fine before the water pump crapped out and the shift cable froze (≈ 4 months ago).
