you say no black box on side of dizzy? so would i be right in assuming your running points. if so check gap condition what the condenser thingy like. is there a crack in the cap. yes running points now, condensor seems ok + no crack in the cap |

Try starting it with the Air filter on.
Your air / fuel ratio is all to pot.

You need enough oil to cover the plunger on the end of the black cap thingy but not so much oil as it comes over the top of the carb as you screw the cap on
;D

You can't be far away from getting it to run now!  If you have fuel and you have sparks you just need the timing to get it to go bang! Keep at it and best of luck! jc |
