Default Re: Pulling Diver's Helmet

Thanks Alan.

Update - Pulled the distributor and cleaned everything. The point contacts were snow white and the brass contacts for the rotor and caps were pitch black. It's back together and I have good spark now. I've tried to start it a few times, but only get a backfire through the carburetor. When I reassembled the distributor, I set the advance on the middle mark, which is where it was before disassembly. I can hear a good suction at the throttle plates when they are closed, so I think I have good compression. I'm going to look things over while the battery charges to see if I'm missing anything. We'll see what happens!
