Points to ponder

  1. Good test on #1 cylinder, now how about #'s 2, 3 & 4?
  2. Current owner says . . . don't care what the current owner says, let's make sure ourselves. The throttle linkage needs to be checked, especially the outer sheath security.
  3. Do we know what size prop is installed, diameter and pitch? Direct drive or reduction gear?
  4. Check the centrifugal advance flyweights for smooth operation to their stops. They are found under the points plate inside the distributor.
