When I started having starting problems, I checked the points because I was told they were the first to go since I had not installed the resistor on the first go 'round.
Points looked fine, but I installed new points & condenser anyway. Plugs looked pretty bad, so I installed new plugs at the same time.
I think I've got the electrical side covered... I'm getting spark on #1 (need to go through and check the other 5). Even if only the #1 plug is getting spark, shouldn't I get ignition of some sort? I would expect that if only one plug is getting spark, the engine would begin to fire then cut out when the other plugs don't fire.
Another question... If I am getting spark at #1, can I then rule out points, condenser, rotor, cap, coil, starter, and ignition switch? Or could I still have an issue in one of those components?
I've got to get the carb rebuilt/reassembled properly before I can go back to checking anything else. As it is now, I spew fuel from the carb anytime I stomp the starter with or without the key turned.
Once I get the carb sorted out, I'll start working my way through the tips in
