WOW, thanks for the quick reply fellas.
David, wires are on correctly. I did not try adding fuel directly in the cylinders. I thought squirting it into the carb would be direct enough. I can definitely try that.

Stanley, as far as spark quality goes: I cranked the motor while grounding the plugs on the motor and got spark. How do you assess the quality of that spark?

Frank, from almost every YT video I’ve watched, any electric start motor starts within seconds. I cranked my motor for up to 30 seconds (not good for the starter) and got nothing. Something is wrong for sure.
