Gas on? (they have a shutoff valve that needs to be open). Do you have good fuel pressure at the carb? I've heard the float valve may get stuck shut on occasion too, to unstick you'll have to drain a little fuel from the carb and lightly tap it. How about good spark at the points?
The gas is on its have good pressure up to the carb it was stuck but I got it unstuck and how do you check it for good spark?
One way is to take the coil wire off the cap and hold it a short distance from the block or a head nut and crank the engine. You should get a spark.
I have spark but still won't start just crank
Is there a certain way to start since it hasn't been started in so long or no?
Youtube has several videos on starting Model As. For more specifics I'd suggest a good Model A forum; http://www.mtfca.com/discus/messages/118802/165305.html?1286914130 (granted this is for Model Ts but I really like this forum, lots of knowledge there)
I have new plugs and battery but no juice ,not cranking . started once by popping cutch its a 31 model a oysterblu@aol.com
