SooOOOoo... I got a 1970 Rupp Roadster with a HS40 and lighting coil. Replaced carb (Oregon brand), new plug set @ .30, new points (set @ .20) new coil, new condenser. Got spark (shocked me good when pulling and holding spark plug wire end. :laugh, compression seems good at exhaust pipe (hand over end of exhaust), gas is going to carb, timing should be ok (no sheared key at flywheel)
i'm a pretty decent mechanic, work on cars, trucks, boats, heavy equipment, etc.
This HS40's got me baffled. All the lights including the brake light work when I pull the cord fast enough, so I don't think its some kind of grounding issue. even cleaned and replaced the ground plug/bolt on front of the engine.
Anyone here got any other ideas? I'd really like to take this thing for a spin (obviously)
Thanks in advance!
