Yea I think it’s a goner honestly..... I’m gonna bolt it back up next weekend and try to test it again after the “field repairs” I ordered a take off one for cheaper I just can’t pay 500 for a rebuilt one right now...

To start dealing with problem number one no electricity I did the full list of testing for the charging system Ended up my alternator being kinda a dud Took the rectifier end off one of the brush blocks wasn’t screwed one (screw head had snapped off) and the large capacitor on the top was also broke...

Ok I’ll try that to

It sat for a year after it’s rebuild but I can clean the carb and inspect it I’m planning to pull the gen (60AMP) after testing if there is any indication of failure and get it checked by a local shop. Another thought was if my batteries are not strong enough The carb is a 13660B I already pulled th...

I also have had to drive with the choke a bit on because it just kinda bucks under load without it......

Is it possible I’m using the wrong plugs? Autolite AER3S

Cleaned and regaped them it ran a lot better. Tomorrow I’ll do the carb tune again and and see ...

It climbs when reving I have the idle set as low as possible so it should be ok the gauge is like a 40 dollar set of amazon brand new first use I’m going to set the valves tonight and hook up the timing light again to see if I can get anything before I start messing with the idle mixture screw My fe...

It was the 2 bolts that bolt the exhaust pipe to exhaust mainifold that where loose
