The point and plugs are firing

Is the contact point gapped properly on the high side of the cam lobe? Is the coil getting full battery voltage or 9.5 volts? If so check ignition timing.

New pump and rebuilt carb should be getting fuel -choke plate is it adjusted properly.

Put engine no.1 piston on its compression stroke/TDC line the crank pulley to 0/TDC remove dizzy cap is the rotor pointing to the no.1 cap tower, also is it turning while engine is being crank over.
