After trying the vacuum tube method again, I hurried to remove the plug to see if it was wet before the fuel evaporated...it wasn't noticeably wet but did smell of fuel.

I tried pouring fuel, about 2 tablespoons down the vacuum tube with no success... when trying to start, I used the gas that was pumped via the filter tube...into a small container...it drips...is that the way it's supposed to be?...also, I retested for a spark and there is one...it can't be said to be blinding but it's not a noticeably faint spark either.

It's just been the sound of the starter winding with no fuel igniting throughout the quest.

I already tried pouring a little gas into the intake manifold when it was suggested before.

Some of the 'extras' not associated with the starting or running of the motor did not function when I bought the fixer-upper, but it ran like a charm via kick-start up to the point when I used the pistion stop(refer to initial post). E.g. the speedometer didn't work but I bought a new one on Ebay...the turn signals didn't work until I installed the new ignition etc. the kill switch and starter button still do not work but the starter(not new) works fine.

The motor hasn't run after I put the new stator in. However, per the initial post, it suddenly stopped starting BEFORE any new parts (except, battery, plug and solenoid), were installed.

I haven't been able to change my avatar. It's not one provided by SP.

I'll take the picture on Sunday. Yes or NO....if there's a spark at the plug when starting, does that mean I didn't crack the magneto magnets when I banged on the cover to remove it?

My wheel looked like it was in the same position as yours in relation to the letters even though they are different.

Neither of them is a T or F. The bottom one is definitely an l. I turned the wheel and there is no T, F or any other letter on the rest of it.

The top one doesn't look like a 'T.' There is no line crossing the top. What do the letters stand for? It looks like an L or a U with the right side worn off. Are all the letters of the alphabet on the wheel?

I took the pictures but they are a little more blurry than yours. I didn't see the 'customize your upload' option on the upload page on PhotoBucket. If I use the "insert" option where the forum message box is, that will be the wrong resolution?

I registered at PhotoBucket but don't know how to relate it to this site. I'll take the pictures and download them to my computer first. There's a time frame issue to consider. Per the initial post, it was running and the next day I unsuccessfully attempted to remove the bolt on the variator via a piston stop etc. It didn't start from then on which was BEFORE I installed the new parts except the battery and new plug. That means now we may be dealing with the original problem plus problems that resulted from e.g. the installation of the new magneto coil etc. Yes, I did bang on the magnet cover with a hammer. I checked with Ebay and they have one so lesson learned if magnets are cracked. The pictures will reveal something.

Now I know what the flywheel is...I removed it to put in the new magneto or whatever. I used the tools I have. Also, the force that can be applied with an adjustable crescent wrench( I don't have the correct socket size) doesn't seem to be enough to do the damage that has been suggested... e.g. there is not enough damage to the piston to affect compression.

Where is the flywheel and what must be done when I locate it and have the tools? Also, considering the provided info, e.g. my finger was blown out of the plug hole and there is a spark at the plug, are there any possibilities remaining other than the flywheel one?
