I did try the other end of cylinder and it didn't change much. Problem now is getting machine to run long enough to actually check the timing. Here's what I've done so far today. I replaced hose from fuel pump to carb with longer one and ran it to plastic coffee can. I pulled coil wire and turned on switch to activate solenoids. I used remote switch to turn motor over. According to a mechanic friend it should pump a steady rhythmic flow of fuel and get a fair amount of fuel to can in 30 seconds. It was weak at first for 5-6 secs and then picked up just like he said and I ended up with 1-1/2" of gas in can. I then submerged hose to see if any bubbles of air. There was none. I forgot to check pressure but will do so yet this afternoon. I will have to do so with just turning over engine remotely. Book says 3.5 to 5#'s of pressure. I plan on pulling carb off to make sure it's clean too. I also pulled coil wire from distributor and kept it 3/16 from head to check it. It will maintain 3/16 to 1/4 spark easily. The spark is yellow though. Not sure what it should be. I'll get back to you Thanks Greg</p></blockquote><p></p>
