Not fuel. I re-routed the pumped fuel to a gas can, and removed the carb reservoir caps. I flushed the reservoirs and poured some brand new gasoline in.

I then replaced all four sparks and squirted some starting fluid past the carb pistons.

No dice. It just does not start. I checked and re-check the static timing, I've replaced everything but the coil itself, and I know that there's a good solid spark coming from the coil...

I put my crane unit back in, checked my firing order again, and cranked and cranked and cranked.

When it should be firing, instead I get a jet of smoke back out of the carbs.
The twin vents on the carbs now have a wet black mess on them.

I removed the valve cover and checked the rocker assembly and all the pushrods. Everything feels right. no excessive movement, gaps all seem correct. All valves open and close..

This makes no sense.
