hi guys,picked this one up from a garage sale(got it cheap because the guy couldn't get it going),tried to start but there was no spark.i stripped her down and found the points etc. clean,but when it turned over the crank moved a mile.
i re aligned the crank using 2 v blocks ,a dial test indicator and a bloody big copper hammer.new gaskets and seals and she fired on the second pull.i might leave this one as it is due to all original paint.
