First time start - no go

Thanks guys. Oh yes I have spark all right. Forgot about the power down discharge too, wham through my hand holding the spark plug all the way to my leg touching the fender. Son of a !@#$. I forgot how much that hurts. So I guess I'll have to set the timing to an estimated 18 to 20 degrees BTDC and give er a try again. Thanks for the suggestions.
