A 48ida is it a stock port motor? If it is that might be a tad too big. Dont fret I suppose it could be jetted down. I wish I could help more but I dont used webbers but the ida is a good carb. It is a down draft right? If your motor is stock maybe try 3-4 psi and see what happens. Are you sure your water pump works? UM maybe your colling system isnt set up right. Where is your rad? Take some pictures and maybe you'll get some more help The spark deal um start at the coils make sure each coil has power with a test light. the see if you have power from the dizzy to the plugs. remove each plug and wire one at a time turn engine over should see sparks at the end of the plugs. Finally make sure the wires are going to propper location t stands for trailing L stands for leading, even though ther the lower set they fire first
