Update:

I worked on it again tonight and I have some new information. I hooked up a spark tester to the coil and I have awesome spark. I hooked it up to one of my plug wires and started turning the motor over and still had no spark. Then I started wiggling the clutch pedal a little while the motor was turning over and I got a spark! So I kept wiggling the clutch and got a spark every now and then. So, I took out the safety switch on the clutch pedal and tested it. I think it is bad. I hooked it back up and operated the plunger by hand and actually got the engine to fire up but it missed something awful and would not stay running very long. I also noticed that the switch was sticking. I'm not sure if this is all of my problems but I think it is shorting out inside the switch and going to ground. I'm gonna replace it tomorrow and try again. But it is definately an improvement from yesterday. I had absolutely no fire on the plugs at all. Now it will actually fire up for a few seconds.

Thanks again.
