We are back to the carb
I was able today to test out the coil.
With power on, I was reading 11.2 volts at coil +
With someone available to push the starter button we were
definitely getting a strong secondary pulse from the coil by holding the center coil wire near the block, as in Don's video. I only tested one plug, but we were getting a strong spark there as well.
We then tried to start the motor and we were able to start it after opening up the idle jet another full turn to 21/2 turns it ran for about 90 seconds with the choke open. The it just stopped. I then realized that I hadn't opened the fuel line.
We tried a few more times, but couldn't get it to kick over again.
I did not use a wire on either jet, but I did blast them both with carb cleaner when I had it apart.
I am going to play around with the idle settings tomorrow. Any other suggestions would be much appreciated.
By the way, I have a late model carb, but it does have an adjustable main jet.
I have experimented with different openings on that,from 2 to 4 turns out. I am not sure if that would impact starting, though.
Again,thanks for your continued support and advice.
