[Spridgets] Still no Start

[JMFarley50 at aol.com]

Is the dizzy 180* off?  I had a similar problem after rebuilding mine  and 
found that the book I was using to set things up was wrong with the dizzy  drive 
"picture".

After  about 10 hours working on this car, it still only runs for a 
second or 2  then quits.

Nothing is hooked up yet except a wire from the battery to  the hot side 
of the coil and from the coil to the dizzy.
I have tried 3  different dizzys, checked em all out too. One came out of 
a running  car.
2 sets of carbs, parts from both sets in a mix match, same  problem.
3 different sets of plugs, different brands too, new, used, no  change.
There is no water system hooked up yet so it is NOT getting  wet.
The compression across the cyls is 175 PSI each.
Valves were at  .012 cold, now at .018 cold, yeah it doesn't run long 
enough to even get  warm.
No change.
I have blown thru the jets into the floats, they are  clear.
The fuel system is not yet hooked up. Floats are 3/4 full with gas  via a 
jar.
I have used this method hundreds of times to see what I  have, it works.
Now I have replaced the coil with the 3rd one, all non  ballast and 
again, no change.
It fires and goes Brmmmmm and  dies.
idle, fast idle, 1/2 throttle, no change other than faster rpms when  it 
runs for that second.
The timing is close, a 1/4" forward and it  kicks back, a 1/4 " back and 
it has a hard time firing.
I also tried a  few different caps, rotors, and wire sets.
There is NOTHING wrong short of  like Brian said, it needs an exorcism.
Oh when it does run for the split  second, it runs very well I just need 
to keep it running for a minute or  two
so I can get the carbs close and look at the oil pressure  gauge.
It's grounded, new battery, fresh gas, points dead on, plugs gapped  to 
.025, also tried .030
