I hadn't started my Greenbrier for some time (it wouldn't start) and I was 

about convinced I had bad gas, dirty carbs or some other fuel related 
problem--the ignition is good with fresh wires, plugs, points and 
condenser and 
a good coil and distributer.

Hi Bob, 


First I'd test for a fat blue spark while cranking with a grounded WIDE gapped test plug. First in the coil wire unplugged from the dist cap, then at a plug wire or 2. 
No spark, or poor spark, and used or fresh ignition parts are not be fresh enough, or just need adjustment. 


If the spark is good, a teaspoon of gas down a carb throat should get a few seconds of second some response. 


Unless the plugs are Soaking wet (flooded), which will let a good spark sneak to ground without igniting anything.
