Okay - we'll all just go thru the basics...

Pull the coil wire - and make sure you're actually getting spark

Look into the carb and stab the throttle and see that you're getting gas

While we know you wrote the firing order down...

From #1 - the firing order rotates CLOCKWISE...

This IS A FOUR STROKE ENGINE - so the timing comes around TWICE. The "poof" test is best verified with a valve cover off - watch the valves as you crank the engine over (I use a ratchet on the crank bolt if you don't have a starter button to hook up - this is done easier with no plugs in) - watch the intake open and then as it closes - watch your timing mark and your rotor (cap off!). At ZERO both valves should be closed - the rotor should be at #1.

Then I crank in 10* (your initial) on the timing pointer - and set the distributor so that it's dead on #1 on the cap...

This will set your initial timing so that you're really close. That way when she fires - she'll run real nice and you can just touch up the timing when you get a little heat in the motor and you've made sure everything else is going good.
