...also no reed valves as Saab's 2-stroke had strictly piston-controlled porting.
I agree that timing would be the next thing to check; if you're getting sparks and gas, there isn't much else left! (Cold start device on the Solex is a separate circuit, not a butterfly plate like usual choke -- at least that's how it was on my 850cc mixer -- so you can't just eyeball it... however, mine always started right up without the cold-start device unless the weather was REALLY cold, so I doubt that's the whole problem.)
So... maybe next thing to do is check the static timing -- if this is right, the engine should at least sortakindawanna TRY to run, then you can hook up a strobe light and get it exact.
