Thanks. Yesterday he did get it running for about 1 minute by running a wire from the starter to the positive side of the coil? Does this mean there is a wiring problem at the ignition switch?
After he flushed out the old gas he got it running again. It runs tight and smooth while choke is on but quits when choke is off. He plans on getting carb rebuilt. He ordered manual and wiring diagram, should be here in a few days.
Thanks again,
