So, some other thread....somebody must have steered you to valves and guides...then rings.
Honed?
Rings on right? COMPRESSION?
Caught for a bit.....at least intermittent spark.
Somebody must have steered you to float valves with no start in some other thread.
Now points.
Kill the fuel pump, no flooding, try starting fluid a couple of times.
Problem is, the actual problem has not been diagnosed. You keep DOING things adding more layers of possible issues.
Then you get to start sorting them out.
