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

[burnt-clutch]

Thanks again for the replies. I’ll double check the compression and take a look at the pinion shock absorber and tiller grip. For the coils, the mounting bosses on the magneto plate are boogered up and I don’t have a good lip on the boss to align the coil to. I should probably but the coil locating ring as well as a timing fixture to take the guesswork out of my ignition. So for a bigger picture question, is the ’54 Fleetwin identical to the ’57? The only schematic that I have for this motor is a ’57 that I found here – https://aomci.org/forums/topic/1957-fleetwin-7-5/ . I can tell off the bat that there are some parts listed here that are not on my motor.
