Do you reckon Nick's carb setting is a bit off, or maybe he doesn't have the right tension on his governor springs, because it looks like this deal has really been miss n miss for him so far .... as if I can talk!?!?

Actually, on mine, I think it is an ignition problem. Either I don't have the points set right, the coil is too weak, or there is a short in one of the leads, so there's just no spark and this deal has yet to ignite.

In any case, it seems that Nick and I are both just spinning our flywheels on these deals so far, and not getting any runtime ... just runaround time!   ;c)
