I'm thinking the sudden shutdowns are caused by that. I mean it shuts off just like you pushed the switch in.But just in case I had replaced the points and condenser. Now the reason why it would not start , dumb me allowed the connector on the condenser to make contact with the housing thus I had a short so no fire from the coil.I have a new switch on order.Now my problem is back to throttle control. I think I should pull the Governor and rebuild all the internal linkage-it really doesn't operate smoothly at all. Bud [Reply]   [No Email]

Adjusting the length of the rods to the governor such that at full lever travel, the governor lever is all the way is about all that can be adjusted. If it is jerky of pulses in RPM, and carb adjust won't fix it, then governor rebuild is a good idea. I am glad the unit actually runs!!!!. Jim   [Reply]  [No Email]

Again I really appreciate your help.I feel like I'm slowly learning a lot.Bud   [Reply]  [No Email]
