Thanks for all the responses. This one is an opposed twin. It looks the same as the late 30’s Master Twins. I had the advance set at about 5 o’clock when I had the backfiring. After I moved it to the 6 o’clock position the backfiring stopped and the flooding began. The throttle is set about halfway. Obviously, I’ve tried different choke settings. I regrouped this morning and managed to get the motor to fire on Seafoam (Gibbs isn’t available here) on the third or fourth pull. It ran for about 20 seconds and sounded pretty good. It died the moment I touched the throttle. I made a few more attempts to get it restarted on gas to no avail. I’m going away this weekend. I’ll try it again one night this week. I’d like to have it running for the Bellwood Lake Wet Meet on May 7.
