Oldy, I didn’t see a posting that says you cleaned the fuel system. After getting spark the next thing to check out is the tank and lines. Any plug that makes a spark and fits in the hole will be fine for initial check/startup. Getting the crud out of an old tank can be a bugger. E85 gas (used as a cleaner) and some threaded nuts and a lot of shaking the tank will help. Gotta have the right mix of gas and air to make’r purr! Hopefully it has some compression too. Don’t worry about the numbers so much because compression will change as the motor loosens up.
