Did you try the jumper? You can jump to the alternator main wire

Make sure the fuel pump didn't die. take the aircleaner off and rotate the throttle arm, like you are stepping on the gas. look down the throat of the carb while you do this, and you should see a stream of gas shooting out of the accelerator pump squirter. If you don't, the carb is probably empty, which would point to the fuel pump.

I think the fuel pump is good.

So the engine doesn't idle? Or even if you throttle up it still dies?

A bad condenser could short out some of the power and make the coil look bad, also if the rubbing block failed on the points they will basically be closed all the time and that will suck down the power to the coil. This is a great learning experience, with the crappy parts out there you will be doing this again in the future.

Very true but I think he has narrowed it down to a fuel issue. James are you getting spark when it doesn't want to start still?
