I think you probably need a couple of things. The first is a correct fuel pump rebuilt by "Charlie ny" on this forum and a rebuilt coil from "Skip" in Florida.

Before you do that, there are a couple of things you can do. Have you tried disconnecting the fuel line from the carburetor and turning the engine over with the carburetor end of the fuel line in a container just to see if it is pumping? Also, you could try puling a spark plug wire, holding it close to the block or head while turning the engine over with the ignition on to see if it produces strong blue spark or a weak orange one.

Obviously, don't try these at the same time. Report back the results.
