Update: I got the thing to fire FINALLY!! I reset the timing again, and I tightened up the rocker shafts until the shaft towers just squeezed out a little oil. Then, I borrowed a neighbor's battery charger/jumpstarter, and let it charge for an hour or so. When it got up to 14.4v, I couldn't wait any longer. It fired, though only briefly. At least I know now that it will run.
I never thought that it would be electrical issues. Go figure...
