1969 no spark

[Jgerrard]

I finally got my 1969 45 HP to go in gear. Was testing it and realized i was not getting full throttle (not a lot of power). When I turned the wheel it would go out of gear and rev much higher. If I lower the throttle it stay in gear as I turned. After about 10 minutes of testing the engine died and now when I try to start it just rolls over and over. I checked the plugs and one was dry and looked good. The other was wet. Tried changing them out and still the same thing. However, I tried to start it without the plugs in and I can feel compression out of each plug hole, but and not getting and gas spray. Does this point to a plugged carb? Any help would be greatly appreciated

Fix the " no spark " problem first,
it will never start without it,

go through the Chrysler archives for 45 hp issues,
iirc there were 2 or three? different ignition systems on those,

we had 2 many years ago but have moved on now,
cheers

Compression can't be done without a gauge.
Unless your finger is bionic??

Turning the wheel and coming out of gear: the cable linkage needs to be adjusted.
