But I'll leave any technical advice to the acknowledged experts and instead make a request of you. Could you please include your '48 in the Owner Registry, together with a pic, any known history and how you acquired it?

Yes, I-B-gone,
Timing sounds like the first 'suspect' in this mystery. DanL

Another place to check is the starter switch on the carburetor. If it is worn it could barely be making contact and the shake of starting could break contact. Take a push button starting jumper and bypass the switch. IT may very well isolate your problem.
Keep us informed.

By good spark I assume you used a spark tester,or at the very least bare wire to block.The spark must jump at least 1/8 inch.The spark MUST be blue not yellow.Seeing grounded spark plugs spark proves nothing.Also take the points out and check them, they could be badly pitted.They might look good in place but could hide a mack truck between the contacts.
