well, i don’t know why I’m moving on to be honest with you. it ran for a brief spell–30 seconds or so and crapped out again. i have done pretty much all i can do to the points save for replacing them. coils are new and test good. condensers were new when i replaced the coils. fuel drips out of the carb throat but the plugs don’t seem to get drenched. so I’m thinking maybe the float is sticking. i’ll take the carb off and go through it. shouldn’t have to replace anything, it was o/h a couple years ago. the cork like washer on the jet is old and I’d like to replace it. i have the buna rings for the RD models but not sure if they’re the right ones for this model. can anyone confirm or deny?
legendre: to answer your question, no it won’t fire when i spray into the carb throat. i have not tried spraying it into the plug hole. i was always told that was a no-no. the spark is big/robust looking but it’s white and not blue.
thanks for your help guys. this club is awesome! i always say it and it’s always true.
