Ok so the other day it finally warmed up enough for me to get out into the shop and play with my zephyr a little bit more. It it amazing how warm 37 degrees can feel after the highs have been in the low 20s for a month and a half. Anyways I checked both coils and they are good so I decided to pull the points and double check them. I think I have found my problem both sets of points were really dirty I am surprised that I actually got it running in the first place now. I also pulled the carb back off and cleaned out the low end mixture passage again since it wouldn’t idle down when I had it running. It looked like there was a little bit of rust or gunk came through the carb that I must have not gotten out when I cleaned the tank. This completely plugged off the low end hole in the back of the carb. So I got that all cleaned out and put back on and now I just need to put the points back in it and gap it again and see if that fixed it. I think it should be good now but I will have to see when it warms up again it cooled back off to a high of 19 today. Thanks again for all of the help.
