You can try ‘hand choking’ by covering the carbs while someone cranks.  If that doesn’t get fuel into the cylinders you either have a major vacuum leak, a blockage in the carb body, or zero compression.

Hmmm, had it down in the natural position as well.  Will try that again

You'll not get fuel with piston up, only with it down (no vacuum across jet with piston up).  Possibly major vacuum leak otherwise?

back to basics, cleaned points, replaced condenser, replaced bad coil and the video ( with a squirt of starter fluif ) catches.  But not with just fuel.  So to track down delivery problem next…
 
Fuel in the filter
Fuel in the float bowls
Plugs are dry when cranked, would expect them to be a little wet
Not smelling of gas either
 
General thoughts to look for tomorrow?  Had the butterflies and the piston up when cranking so far…….

David
