If it’s turning over put the spark plug wires about a quarter inch away from the tips of the spark plugs to see if you have spark jumping the gap.
Does gas drip out of the carburetor after cranking it over and holding the choke closed. Usually gas will drip out of the carburetor after a half dozen or so revolutions with the choke pulled closed.
Let us know what you see after trying this.
Need more info to help you.
When starting the car, I can almost get it to start up. My car is very touchy with all the levers and choke rod. I can almost get it to start and run but it fizzles out no matter what I do. Some gas does drip out after my attempts. I do have sparks jumping which I checked. I think I found someone that can come help in person but I hope it is soon enough.
