Do you have the correct gap in the points? if you have a small or no gap then you will get no spark.
to check for fuel, have a look in the float bowl when you take it off to turn it around as Terry suggested, there should be some fuel in there,
there is a measurement that the level should be but I have forgotten what it is otherwise you need to check the float level by measuring gap
between top of float and underside of the float bowl top just when the fuel supply is cut off by the needle and seat, should be between 1/8" and 3/16" gap
Once you have the top back on the float bowl, take off the carby top, (three screws) and slowly lift it up, sometime the piston will come with it or sometimes it stays with carby, if piston comes with top be careful of needle, place it somewhere safe, look inside carby and fuel level should be just level with brass tube of the jet holder in centre of carby, a bit hard to check this with a mechanical fuel pump, Terry does start a car with it like this to check fuel flow but beware of back fires
damn it, spent ages typing this and Terry beat me.
