Ok I only see two stems on the carb. One is obviously the fuel cut off the other is on top and has numbers on it. I see the check valve on the bottom but I’m guessing that’s not adjustable.when I try to bounce it against compression with the spark retard lever at 7 o’clock , it will hit but the flywheel only makes a complete revolution every 3rd or fourth try. And at about the same rate it will bounce back and forth at a half moon arc for about a two seconds. I pulled the plug out and had the piston at TDC and it appears like the timing lever points are touching at this point, which is correct I think. I know it’s actually firing because after trying to start it for about ten minutes the cylinder is hot. (Not hot hot mind you but evidence of an explosion) is it the timing? Again any help is appreciated
It's a jungle out there.
