I recently replaced the head gasket on my starboard engine and now I can’t get it to start. She turns over but never fires. I have checked the spark at plugs and it’s good. Removed all plugs so I could turn the engine over and removed valve cover to the number one cylinder then I rotated the engine until both valves were up or fully closed on number one cylinder and the crank timing mark was at TDC. Then I set the distributer to number one plug at distributer and advanced distributer approx. 30 degrees. I have checked to see that I have fuel spraying into the carburetor. She won’t start and run.
What am I doing wrong. The starboard engine is left hand rotation and distributer is 18436572. I don’t get it she should run. Any help would be appreciated
