Reply To: ’54 Fleetwin – wont run on low speed

[burnt-clutch]

Yes, this a new to me motor I bought awhile back. Compression was 70 and 80 before I put a new head gasket on it. I’ve filed and cleaned the points and have them gapped to .020 at the middle of the “TOP” on the timing cam. I haven’t verified spark on both because my tester died, but I’m assuming that since it does run on the high speed setting both plugs have spark. When I went through the carb this morning I noticed that the slow speed needle has a nick on the end so I guess I need to get a replacement needle as well. Here’s my carb picture.
