Thank you both very much.
Mr. Lang. Nothing like learning to read Greek. I am unclear on whether the valves open and close once in a cycle or multiple times. I have a feeling this is my problem. But do not know. I did do the embarassing thing of pulling the distributor and turning over the engine some years ago. Along with not changing out the pan gasket while out of the truck and on an engine stand. Dumb me.
Jerry. Thank you. I believe you are right on the post positioning of the field/alternator for the generator but need to work on getting the engine to run.
I think a carburetor rebuild and timing review may be the first step.
What bothers me is that the engine ran and I drove the truck this summer. I don't know what I did to change that. I guess my 'tuning up' for better operation did not work out so good.
Thanks again
