White smoke? Blue smoke? Black smoke?

Did you just listen for 3 whooses for the compression, or did you use a gauge? If you used a gauge, What was the readings?

Did you do a fuel volume test or just check to see that fuel squirted down the barrels of the carb?

Did you test for spark to both leading and trailing sides?
