Jimmy and I have been working off line to keep the back and forth off of the post. The timing shows good. Stopped at 5 BTDC and rotor was on No. 1, went around twice again, rotor in same place. Hope the repeat means chain is OK. He has been doing really good for his first time with this stiff. I suspected that the weak/no spark was due to the way spark was tested. So now he has good spark. In case he has bad gas as was suggested, he is getting new gas and will squirt down carb. No throttle at all for now. We know carb has gas because he saw is squirting. Seems like no reason to test pump yet. Using a jumper for coil during these tests. Will report.
