Here is a link that shows the correct plug with a cross reference to other brands.

It was running better but it still wasn't right if I read correctly. He may have multiple issues.

True, I was just saying that I wouldn't put too much stock in the fact that it's rich considering all the swaps and monkeying around that he's already done. I know this isn't a guarantee but I'd hope that the place that sold him the plug made sure it was the right one... |

Yea, it was running, but not running great, so I could indeed have more than one issue.
I think I'll go ahead and do the points and condensor once I get a flywheel puller so I can at least elminate those things. Man, I've learned more about engines in the last 3 days than all my years combined, lol. ________ Ifa dicussion Last edited by Kaneman; 05-09-2011 at 09:11 PM.. |

I've got the needle on the stock setting for the ORIGINAL carb...but I'm not sure about the alternate carb so I just dropped the needle one notch to lean it out a bit...I'll see how that works.

It would be much easier to check the valves if I had the first clue what I was doing, lol.
"Check the clearance by inserting a flat feeler gauge between the rocker arm pad and camshaft lobe" Great, WTF is that. Off to google I go ________ Coach purses Last edited by Kaneman; 05-09-2011 at 09:12 PM.. |

Sounds like one of your valves may be mucked up.. Check your compression too.

I've been out there kicking that thing all day, got it to run for 5 seconds once but that was the best.
I did take the valve covers off and looked at the top of the valves. They were very clean looking, no carbon buildup...looked brand new actually. I need to get a feeler gauge and a flywheel puller before I proceed any further. ________ Smartkeys Last edited by Kaneman; 05-09-2011 at 09:12 PM.. |

Work through one thing at a time. If you skip around to different things it makes it hard to keep everything straight.
