Hello there, I just have a few questions about this motor. First off, it will only fire once in a great while ...maybe once every 30 pulls or so and only for a split second. I have tried bypassing the carb, in case it was clogged, and poured a little gas into the cylinder. However, I still end up with one fire every so often. I have checked the points and they are both spotless, the condensers and coils appear to be in good shape but the metallic squares on the coils have a green color to them. I have tried grounding the plugs to see if they fire (they are new) and only the lower plug would fire occasionally. I put a volt meter to everything with the sound on (so when there was a current I would easily know) and the points and coils responded, however the plug wires would not give me anything. I have been told that the condensers have a tendency to go bad often so I am probably going to replace them tomorrow. Is there any advice anyone could give me on what this problem could be? I am leaning heavily towards electrical because when using starting fluid or gas the regular way I can small it on the plugs. Also, when pulling I have noticed that both cylinders only have 30psi compression. Is this normal for pull starting or could this be a sign of a leak or crack?
Thank You.
Thank You.
