- sprayed, soaked overnight, and rebuilt the carb
- replaced all fuel lines
- replaced entire ignition system. Coils. Condensers. Cleaned points. Gapped at .020. New spark plugs and wires.
- flywheel torqued at 40
- both cylinders have spark
- replaced thermostat/thermostat gasket
Current issue:
1. Sometimes it'll start, and idle for about 10 seconds, then die.
2. Other times it'll start, idle, rev up REALLY high, then die.
I'm thinking fuel related?
Observations:
The bulb was NOT stiff after it died one time. But sometimes it is.
On my millionth attempt, I manually pumped the bulb. It ran for a little longer than before, revved up REALLY high, then died.
I'm going to check the compression tomorrow.
This is starting to drive me nuts.
