Glad I found this forum. Retired now and Have a bugeye that has been in mothballs (inside) for several years. low miles, good shape but no go. Help. Check obvious, battery, etc. turns over--was spark at plugs -no go-replace leaky coil- -but still no go--carbs ok ( I think). Voltage regulator? replaced and no go. any ideas out there
 
Welcome Buggman, you have found the right place for help with your Bugeye. We have a forum here called "Spridgets" where Sprites and Midgets are discussed. Highly recommend you pop into that forum and post and specific questions there.

Hello Buggman

Welcome to the forum.

I am sure you will get plenty of tips and advice from the Spridget section of the forum.

Have you shot a drop of gas into the carbs as you crank it over or some starting fluid. If it fires briefly would indicate a fuel delivery or carb problem.
