[QUOTE="great white, post: 357617, member: 6238"] Popped the new rings in, fresh gaskets and put the 2 hp back together. Also had to helicoil the spark plug hole. Just too far gone to save. Into the pail of water and sure enough, it wouldn't run. Off comes the carb, blow it apart and let the bits sit in the ultrasonic cleaner all afternoon. Pop it back together and "zero" all the mixture screws. Back in to the pail. Nope, no go. After frigging with it and partial runs here and there, I push the lever past start in to the "fast" setting on a blind hunch Pull and off she goes! So I have something funky going on with the points or condenser I'm thinking. It won't run on slow, but it does on start or fast. It will only start when past the start position in to fast. Well, I'm only in to the little bugger for 60 bucks so I can spend a little more on it. I'm thinking of gutting the bits out and going with an electronic module to run the spark. I hate points....
