I did pull the cover plate and checked for carbon, looked pretty clear to me. After that, I pulled the mag to maybe change/re-stuff the condensers (I asked more condenser related questions in a separate post) and found the wiring going to the kill switch was pretty well shot and likely grounding out on the mag plate. Replaced those wires and ensured the wiring on the condensers was solid (I slipped some heat shrink over the leads) and reassembled. After a full pulls she started for the first time in many years (likely close to 40 or more). She smoothed out pretty well after a few seconds and settled down to pretty good idle (only ran for a couple of minutes, its getting kinda late here, ha).
Thanks everybody for all of the inputs, maybe I’ll post a short vid later this weekend.
