Spent some time with it today. Frustrating to say the least. Pulled the flywheel and coils/points/etc looked great. Didn’t run the carb through a ultrasonic cleaner but blew everything out and looked very clean. Didn’t clean the screen in the fuel pump which may have been a mistake. Reassembled everything and started it up and ran good. Shut it off and restarted no problem. Then everything went downhill. Motor refused to start or even pop. Sprayed some carb cleaner in the carb and it popped but wouldn’t run. Got frustrated and called it quits for the day. I still think it’s a fuel problem.
