actually, after more study of your photos. I think my mag lever is likely correct. My mag plate has the short pin that would move the vertical rod for carb advancement. I can see evidence of something rubbing on it. I see you made new exhaust gaskets. Did you have to make some head gaskets too? Thank you again for the photos. They are great help. Brian
Brian, I wasn’t able to find any new head gaskets,
and didn’t want to try to make them, as
if I remember, they looked like a challenge,
and finding proper gasket material, and cutting
it can be a chore.
I had a froze up parts engine that had better
head gaskets. I’ll look to see if I have the needed
carb parts.
