redo the carb… try removing the filter in the bowl to test the engine
before installing flip it over and try to blow air (mouth) in the carb. If the needle seats properly NO AIR should flow IN the carburator. make certain the float sits level with the edge of the carb and that the float itself is not upside down.
good or not you should pull the FW and inspect the coils …. clean/touch-up the points ……do a basic* test on the condensers
* test for short… you should see infinite (open) after a short needle burst towards 0 ohms if you have an analog meter basic test does not prove the condensers are good handling 200-300V kick backs.
btw dis you download yourself a copy of the Johnson maintenance manual ?
go to MEMBERS ONLY….INNER SANCTUM….LIBRARY….GARRY SPENCER DROP BOX….down the list is a RED JOHNSON book
