quote John C:

I had the same problem. What I found was that the timing was off quite a ways. The points cam was installed upside down. To reset the timing on these, you pull the head and gasket. Then rotate crank till piston is within 5/32nds from tdc on the compression stroke. The points should start to open at this position. Tighten mag plate, replace flywheel and you should be good to go.

You go to the extreme of removing the head?? Why not use a straw or pencil to the spark plug hole to find TDC of the piston?
