Re: RD-14 Carb Kit?

quote Chris_P:

Cracked coils can still throw a good spark. Until you are out on the water and they fail!

That is exactly right. Times two here
A lot of times, old ignition parts will test good on the front yard, but out on the lake, it’s a whole different story. That is because of all the humidity in the air a foot or two, above the water line. Cracked and/or old ignition components will continuously trick you here. 😀

And yes, the RD that year does have an inspection port. I actually have a ’53 Big Twin with the flywheel off as we speak.
