ok so i got the new motor put in the 025..rebuilt the carb....and gave every thing else a good cleaning..oh yeah..new impulse line and intake boot to....got it all put back together...and now she wont start,,ugh....

like its not getting gas or spark...duh...but how do i test this?..i put a little gas thru the spark plug hole...and pulled it several times...nothing...pulled the boot off the spark plug and kept it close to the plug...pulled it...sa no spark...any suggestions?....could i maybe have the coil to far from the flywheel?...hell i dont know..pretty frustrating.....only other thing..is the carb gasket that sits between the intake boot and carb was kind ratty looking...also turned the carb setting screws all the way in then backed them out one turn before trying to start
 
Take a piece of printer paper fold it in half and put it between the coil and fly wheel. That should get you real close. Be sure you did not pinch the stop wire when you were putting it back in and it thinks you have it in stop. The first thing is to get spark.
