318 Won't Start? And I tested as much as I could I think?
Well it turned out that the coil was reversed, rechecked and readjusted everything last night but I was limited do to the weather. Just went down there today and gave it 2 light pumps and it fired up but wouldn't run. So I unhooked the choke again with no go and then it took about 5 pumps to get it to flash but I was able to keep it going with the peddle. Basically 1 try with the choke and 1 try without, then the 3rd try it flashed up And I could keep it going. It would stay going on it's own so I adjusted the idle screw enough to keep going. It started to smooth out a bunch as it warmed up and I was able to set the timing to 7.5 advanced at 800rpm. Once it warmed up it flashed up and stayed running with little trouble. And this is a couple of the pics I could get that weren't blurred 1 of the carb it the choke and the other shows the front of the bowl is wet
I am pretty sure I am down to just carb issues.
I was going to take a video of it flashing up and running but I'm not sure if I can upload video's in a post?
Never the less....
I have reached the point where I am able to get it started and running once warm, and this is where I was trying to reach with these problems.
If it wasn't for the help from everybody and their suggestions I may still be frustrating myself.
Unfortunately I now have additional questions and problems in the carb so I was planning on starting another thread if I cant' find what I need somewhere.
Either way let me know what you guys think.
