More problems. Adjusted the mixture and then would idle but not rev well. Then colossally backfired, snapping the starter rope. Then I noticed the phillips heads are stripped on 2 of the 3 pull start screw heads.
Those came out reasonably easily, new cord in, mixture put back where it was and still no good. Thought there should have been a washer to hold the power needle correctly.
Grovelled around on the floor and found it!
Upon reassembly it still ran poor. Pulled the exhaust off - clean port but muffler clogged with carbon severely.
Scrapped all that out and checked. Now sounds better but still won't run right (backfiring)
Working theory was a sheared flywheel key from the massive backfire that snapped the cord.
Flywheel nut is regular thread for any future reader. Got the flywheel off taper and found a perfect key!
I was about ready to pull my hair out when I notice a points case. I thought I saw these had EI but was wrong
Any ideas on the points gap?
Currently 4 thou but am guessing 14 thou or there about would work
