Thanks for posting the updated fix. Back when I use to work on this engine many many years ago a lot times the no start or really bad idle and very poor throttle response seemed to be points & condenser related. many owners would have the wrong set up or improper gapped points and so on plus what I mentioned in post # 3. Anyways thanks for posting the fix, always like to know what happened after the fact.
