If you have fuel and spark; all that is left is timing. Seems like I had a no-start-after-stall problem on our 85 that turned out to be a stuck advance mechanism. I also had many different problems with holes/tears in the vacuum lines and also a sticking idle bypass valve. You really need to take each hose off and physically inspect it. Especially the rubber "I"s and "T"s. I found an inductive timing light invaluable in checking for the presence of spark. Just clap on and crank. Ken Lewis http://neksiwel.20m.com/
