I work on this until I get mad, then wait a few weeks then start again. It started and ran fine for a little while, then stopped and would only run for a few seconds. I had used a carb kit with what I would call a rubber-type bowel gasket and when I took the carb apart I noticed that it was coming apart, so I removed everything again and cleaned it out using what I would call a small brush kit to chase the holes, with additions spray cleaner as well as air. When I put it back together it is acting the same way. I did notice that one of my condensers was sweating so I put in a different set and tried again, still the same but one of the second sets of condensers was sweating again. Today I used an OHM meter and set it for 200 meg and watched them both rise. I do have a meter to test the capacitance so there could be a charging problem I am not catching. I decided to reset the points with a meter and realize that the two places on the net, that I have found, talk about how to do it, but neither say where the throttle/timing plate lever should be. I can make sure #1 is on TDC. but the plate has to have a set point somewhere since it advances and retards, when the timing for when the points open.
Does anyone know what that point is? I know I can gap them at the cam high point with a .020 dragging through them and a .022 not going it. I would like to time it if someone knows where the lever needs to be.
Thank you
