[1925 Maxwell/Chrysler won't start]

I started and ran my 1925 Maxwell/Chrysler in early to mid November of this year, and it ran perfectly. About 3 weeks later I went to start it to prep for a local Christmas parade and it would crank, but not fire. I have the vacuum fuel pump and there is gas going to the carburetor (clear glass filter just prior to carb is full). I did rebuild the carb about 18 months ago and it's been working fine. I pulled the coil wire and grounded it and got a clean spark. I then pulled the #1 plug wire, grounded it and got a spark. I even did one thing I am usually against- I gave the carb a quick shot of starting fluid and no indication it even wanted to fire up. Today I cleaned the distributor cap contacts and the rotor. I also pulled, cleaned, and reset the gap (.020 according to the manual) on the points. I also pulled a plug and it looks OK (no heavy soot or fouling apparent). When not in use I have a battery tender on the battery so that should not be an issue; besides, it cranks fine. Any thoughts on what I've missed or what I should check next will be greatly appreciated.

Hi: Sorry about your situation. I have a rare 1922 Chalmers Roadster (Maxell-Chrysler) previously owned by Ramon Navarro 1st actor of movie Ben-Hur 1925. (Some one stole it from my barn)  If you or someone you may know to have a magneto I'm desperate looking for one. Please let me know....cubacombia@comcast.net. Wish you a happy new year and hope you got your car running. THANK YOU FOR YOUR EFFORTS IN HELPING ME. J lizarazo.
