Thanks for all the advice. I found the Ignition coil had somehow overheated and melted the wire, so it wasn't getting a spark. Changed the coil, and put new wires through it, the previous wires weren't the right gauge, I'm thinking maybe it just overloaded it. Starting great now, I never thought about spark because it was working fine before i done a rebuild on the carb. Thanks again, and I'm sure I'll have more questions later on.
