Re: RD-14 Carb Kit?

[fisherman6]

If it were mine I’d still check the coils. If they are the original ones they will need to be replaced due to cracking. If they are cracked they won’t last long and are not worth trying to save with new ones available at a very reasonable cost. I think the RD will have an inspection hole in the flywheel, but I could be wrong. That should allow you to see the coils by just removing the recoil and a small cover plate.

I’m with Zephyr, I always make sure the ignition is right before starting in on the carb. Unless I know the motor, though, I’ll end up going through the whole ignition and fuel systems and the water pump to make sure it is a reliable runner. Having a good hot spark off the bat is good news for sure though.
