Thanks mercman and everyone for the help I will go back a few reply’s start at top , Yea I have reversed the plug wires and got a loud pop and kick back. The next reply about the reversing the wires on the coil I didn’t get a wiring diagram with preferred parts coil so assumed the red wire went to the insulated side of points and the black went to ground. next reply I kinda thought that about no spark with compression and fuel I hooked up a spark tester and new plugs with spark plugs installed and it shows its firing. mercman I totally agree with everything you said and I have put a ground wire that connects mag plate to engine . I had a 1925 Johnson that I had to do that and ran fine after that. I will try to set points closer. This is so out there.
