My TD engine has recently been rebuilt, however, it won't start.  The facts
are:

There seems to be plenty of spark at the plugs.
The compression is about 135psi in each cyclinder.
There appears to be plenty of fuel as the level is just below the jet bridge
in each carb.  The carbs are not plugged.
The exhaust does not seen to be plugged.

There is little or no suction at the inlet manifold even when I disconnect
the carbs from the manifold.

Is it possible that the timing chain was replaced 180 degrees out of synch?
When I received the engine from the rebuilder, I did not remove the timing
chain cover to check as I couldn't believe this could happen.

Any other ideas?
