Michael in your other post, "Timing Pin Dimple is not TDC?" the group discussed the Model B plate...are you sure the timing is now correct? In any event even with timing off the plugs should be wet, so long as the engine HAS COMPRESSION. If you can test the compression or at least put your thumb over the spark plug hole. If the valves are set incorrectly or simply not seating the engine cannot draw fuel.
