I was very careful about the spark plug leads and yes I have double and
triple checked them. It may be the sediment thing, I sure hope not. I
can't see any debris in the filter, and there is fuel dripping from the
rear carb so I don't think it's that. It does nearly catch, has a couple
of fires then the starter just spins. What would that mean. I just
changed back to the old condensor and may go back to the old points next,
they don't look burned at all. The new ones on the other hand look a
little off, meaning the contacts are not exactly together. That could do
it.
Thanks to all you guys with the immediate answers, that has helped a whole
lot.
