Thanks, I was reading about Elgin coils some last night. I still can’t get the flywheel off of this thing, other than soaking with PB Blaster, any ideas? I’m using a standard flywheel puller to attempt it.
Having some trouble with the carburetor, too. The throttle linkage is so hard to move that it has no more spring action. I’m not sure that I can free it up or not, may put an ad up for a the linkage.
I was also curious on the bottom of the carb where the glass bowl goes. When I remove there is a cork gasket/hard diaphragm (for lack of a better explanation) along with the opening. What is the diaphragm suppose to look like, I’m afraid mine is just a big mass of hard varnish. I’ll try to get a picture of this.
