Hello Keith,
I also use the "Moss" method. It's in their catalog, and It seems to work
well for me, since I don't own a timing light. That's not my hard
starting problem, though. I found the problem with some great help from
people on the list. My jets were stuck and weren't coming down when I
pulled out the choke. I will be taking them out and cleaning them today.
When I pulled them down manually, it started right up. First time in
years!
Thanks for your note.
