You got it. Spark plug wire from the top coil goes to the top spark plug on number 1 cylinder, and so on down the line.
You didn't mess with the other connectors?
The back fiing could be the timing,or even the fuel pump diaphram.
It could also be the air screws not set right. Turn in till they just bottom out and then out 1 turn.
Thank you.
1 more question if you can help me. back fires when you get it started out the exhaust, i have the cables from the gear shft dis connected. could this be caused from the timing not being advanced at the same time throttle is given kinda like on a truck/car motor. just giving it some throttle with the arm on the carbs, it doesnt move anyhting else but them. any ideas?
Thanks again
