Thanks for the ideas, timing arm looks like it's advancing, spark at all 4 cylinders, I'll have to check the fuel line at the valve good idea!
When you say the carbs are very delicate, what kind of solution should I soak them in? Or should I just clean with carb cleaner and blow them out with compressed air?
I guess I couldn't have messed up the timing by spinning the flywheel then right?

No, spinning the flywheel will not hurt the timing. And carb cleaner is a HUGE NO NO with plastic carbs. You need an ultrasonic with a water based cleaner, or a MILD solvent used for decarboning.

Cool

If you feel you "must" use something to clean your carbs other than what THEFERMANATOR just mentioned, go to an electrical supply place and get a few cans of plastic safe solvent. It comes in spray cans and is used on circuit boards, switches, etc. Just make sure it says it's safe for plastics.

When engine bogs down have a helper pump the primer ball.... If it picks up it indicates a fuel pump OR air leak problem

Sounds carb related as stated by Ferm. but be extra careful on the plastic carbs and make sure you put the jets back in the correct location or you will have a worse day.

Or the always fun of reusing the orings and trying to get them to stay in place while you bolt them on because if they fall out of place you will warp a carb tightening it down. I started using trans gel to hold them in place myself.

I don't a 10 th as much as these guys know but what I would check is all the fuel filters it's a easy thing to do and you might get lucky and find that's the problem An easy fix also how about the Fuel primer bulb? Is it old maybe calapsing causing no fuel to get by Good luck , let us know how you make out
