Thanks again for all the feedback, folks.
Fuel does run out the fuel line in a nice, steady stream if I remove it from the carburetor and open the petcock.
The reason I think the carb bowl is filling is because at least a couple tablespoons drain out of it when I remove the fuel line to take off the carb, every time.
Compression on each cylinder is ~70psi.
The plug wires are going to the correct plugs.
Stupid question, but is there a butterfly on the throttle arm ?
Not a stupid question at all, and oh gosh, I wish that’d been it, but alas, butterflies are visible and …flutter-able.. on both carbs. 🙂
I didn’t notice any cracks on the magneto when I took it off to replace the coils, condensers, and points.. Is there anything other than cracking I should look for?
Last night, I disassembled both carburetors, soaked all the metal parts in Berryman Chem-Dip, rinsed with water per the instructions, dried with compressed air, and cobbled together one whole carb using my original carb body and the bowl from the ebay one. I used the cork float from the ebay carb, and it looks like this:
I did stick a little spare piece of unused fuel line on the fuel inlet and am happy to report that I can blow air through it upside down, but not right side up, so that feel promising.
I am now anxiously watching the clock for COB so I can go try it out.
