<x-flowed>I took the top of the carb off and found it dry. When taking off the fuel line, fuel dribbled out. The carb valve was sticking so I flushed it out with cleaner and after re-installation it was providing fuel.
So now on to electrical to see why it didn't start.
After fiddling around and re-adjusting the points, I check the cap to see if there were any indications of a spark and lo and behold found that the plunger for the connection to the rotor was just plain missing!
This was a brand new cap and I could see the spring, but there wasn't a plunger to connect to the rotor. No wonder there was no spark.
Now it's on to other things, as no FLAPS that are open will have what I need.
I get a week without the family to get working on the square, and at least I'm making some progress, but I want to drive it!

It wouldn't start and it seemed like a fuel problem so I looked down the throat of each card while hitting the fuel. The right carb pumps gas into the carb, while the left one doesn't.
