Thanks Josiah
Yes I did use the hole above the starter, probably one of the only things I have done right. I set the new points to 19 according to another thread I read here. It said to set new ones to 19 used ones to 16 I think. Is that correct? As far as timing goes I don't see any marker indicating advanced,would that be to the right of the pointer. I set is a little to the right of the pointer, I hope that is correct. I don't get the black soot after it is running for a short time. However I do notice that the top gasket on the carb is wet, I would think that maybe I need to set the float. What do you think?
Thanks again
