Thanks for the ideas gentlemen. When I originally took the
flywheel off, it had no appearance of every being “oily”.
The fuel pump diaphragms are original, so there could be
some issues, but it seem to be getting plenty fuel.
I haven’t explored if there’s a pump kit available for these yet.
I don’t remember there being any excess play in the mag plate,
but that’s something to explore.
So far I’ve put a new impeller in it. I was going to see if the motor
was viable before I dumped more money into a motor I’ll probably
never use. I do like to try to solve mysteries though, so I may
go back to the basics. I’m not even sure if I put new condensers
in it when I had it apart.
One thing that bugged me, I never was able to sync the mag to carb per instructions
in the manual. The assumed mark I found never lined up with the throttle roller,
or something to that effect.
Prepare to be boarded!
