Hi Grumpy,
Got my new (2nd hand)coil and lead last night, and assembled it all this morning only bugger was the wire to the condenser had no eyelet just bare wire. but i was lucky I had 2 in my tool box.
so re-gaped the points and flywheel hooked up the fuel gave her some primes and away she went for about 1 minute or so, bit of white smoke. But the thing i cant seem to sort firstly is when it kicks over it revs up and down like when you put your foot on the accelerator in your car then take it off, continuously.
2ndly this time I'm thinking the carby needle might be sticking like you said in a previous post and it ran until the bowl was empty(also had the cap loosened).
so will take the carby off again and have a look.
How do you check for sticking needle ?
I will also double check float level supposed to be 15/16th from lip of bowl while inverted.
I feel it's getting close mate.
Pete
