Is the battery dead from cranking for so long? or is it shorted somewhere? Could the distributor be out 180? Could be off just a tooth, too. I just got mine back together a few months ago and the only issue I had was the timing. Then after I got that right, I took off for a test run but forgot to put the spout plug back in. HUGE ERROR. Without actually being able to be there, I'd guess it's a timing issue.

Could you post a couple pictures?? A lot of guys can spot things that aren't just so, with only a picture to look at.
