Tried the ether, and was able to bring the fuel up to the nozzles. Still will not start, have good pressure at the nozzles when I crack them open while cranking. I get smoke but the engine doesn't even try to fire. I decided to advance the timing a little on the pump yesterday, when I had the cover for the pump off(timing gear cover) I remembered reading about how the springs become weak or broken inside that gear and causes the engine to go full retard. So I took it apart and sure enough, the governor inside the gear is broken. Have the parts ordered and will post pictures and perhaps a "running" engine soon.
I also ordered new nozzles, might as well have everything new at the same time.
