Good morning! I am in process of tuning up my little new to me 3hp rude, 1961 model. I have cleaned the carb pretty well and it still has a hard time idleing, sounds like it is switching between being happy on both cylinders to running on one every couple seconds.
So with that being said I have decided to look at the points and coils. Before doing so I checked spark. PLENTY of it. Jumps a large gap.
I have taken off the tank and side covers and am trying to take off the flywheel, do I need to mark where it is currently for timing purposes? of does it only go on one way? Also I managed to get the bolt off easily, but do I need a puller for the actual flywheel and if so where can I get one? Can i borrow one from the auto parts store?
I thank you all ahead of time for the anwsers. Looking forward to getting this thing running right!
