[QUOTE="Zberry1985, post: 473318, member: 25580"] i finally got the motor all back together and it fired right up. it actually sounds to be running pretty decent but i think there might be a timing/spark issue. playing around with a timing light its real close to to my mark on the fly wheel but then it also gives the occasional flash elsewhere and i thinks it's picking up the spark for the other cylinder. not sure if it's my harbor freight timing light or an actual second spark. i haven't had a chance to test higher rpms yet. now that i know it runs i have a tach ordered and some other parts. one odd thing is when i adjust the idle mixture screw the rpms go up the closer i get to bottoming out, about 1/8 turn out is highest rpm. any guess as to why that is?
