Hi Bruce,
After cleaning up the threads, new points + condenser, plug, paws and bowl fitted I was excited when it started first go ... there is a hell of a lot more spark now and it sounds much better ... but again after stopping it wont start
. I pulled the plug at this time as you suggested and it has lots of spark but just wont go.
I checked the bolts that bolt the cylinder to the crankcase and they were tight. What is the next step? I am guessing pulling the cylinder head off and inspecting it? If I do this will the gaskets be buggered during dissasembly? If so I will wait to see if I need rings before ordering replacement gaskets. If I go this far should I replace the bottom seal just to be sure?
Will I need to pull the flywheel off again to perform any of this work?
Thanks ... we will win this one yet ;-)
James
