Eltoquad, thanks for the procedure!
As hard of time I had for the points to contact
near TDC, I would not have thought that setting
the points procedure was that easy.
I’ll have to check the gap and see what I ended up with.
I gave it a “test start” today by just filling the carb with
gas instead of putting fuel in the tank.
The longest I got it to run was about three seconds.
It seemed like the compression was low, so I checked it.
55 & 57 psi. When I had it apart, the cylinders didn’t look
too bad, and I only gave it a very light hone.
I suppose I could try new rings in it, or rig the drill up
to try to start it and see if the compression would improve a little.
For a while it’s just going to sit on the stand and get looked
at!
Prepare to be boarded!
