Primart rebuilt...cranks but no start
So I wrapped up my primary rebuild this weekend. Unfortunately I went to started up and it cranks fine but does not start. It only pops and coughs out of the exhaust. The charge is great on the battery at 13.2. Spark test looks good as well. First question is can I do a cranking load test without the load test device depicted in the manual? Never had to use one of those before.
Also any usual suspects i can look for.

Shouldn't be. No wires related to the ignition were disconnected? On mine, the cam sensor wire (iirc) runs under the primary. Possible that you jostled or pinched that?

Did you check the fuel tank disconnect on the bottom of the fuel tank? You are getting air, getting spark, are you getting fuel. Or by chance did you remove the crank position sensor?
