I have installed points &cond new coils cleaned carbs. i can get it started but runs a little weak. i''m sure the timing is off, but my manuals are not good on timing procedures! i need imfo from point thru timing. i have all tools nessasary. any help please,and thanks.

Spray starter fluid (something flammable) in the carb and see if you can keep it running. If you can keep it running that way, your carb is not clean, not set up properly, mis-adjusted or ???

check gap on coil the gap on the points and also make sure the magnets are free of rust, the capacitor could be weak also.

start by checking carb that is is pumping fuel to the piston. Check this by removing the spark plug to see if it is wet. Be sure when you pull the start cord that there is resistance which means the piston and ring are good. Be sure fuel is fresh and the proper mix. Good luck.

battery up to parr? try new sparkplug,does this bike have new igniter pac,?check voltage at coil,etc at coil,points..are points grounded?

lets start with the carbs. You say you cleaned them. But did you remove and clean the jets ? start there.

Stills sounds like a carb problem to me. Did you make sure all the jets were clean and open? Some of these carbs have a main jet adjustment screw on the bottom of the carb, if yours does try opening it up a 1/4 turn at a time to richen the fuel mixture until it runs properly.

you need good compression ( at least 90 psi , kicking it with the throttle open) , good crankshaft seals for sucking the fuel/air into the botton end, proper point gap and timing set for spark ( spark should be big and fat,if not the source coil is weak,, this is a flywheel magnito ignition and it needs no battery to fire the plug) if you clean the carb, make sure you also clean the choke pickup tube or it wont choke. also make sure you have the slide installed in the right direction ( not backwards and the idle is not set too high at first...compression/****-good spark at the right time-proper fuel/air ratio and it will run

What's compression like? Has car been running well until now?

Sounds like a weak battery. Swap batteries and see if it will start.
Is the kill switch on? Does the side stand have a kill switch? Is it working properly? Is the gas valve on? Got gas? Check fuses. Got spark?

Clean the fuel system
Remove the water trap bowl at the bottom of the petcock, (gas valve). Any water or trash in the bowl? Drain a cup of gas from the tank. Any water or trash in the cup? Dump it, clean it and re-mount it, ( not all bikes have a water trap bowl ).

Drain the carburetor. There should be a screw on the lower side of the carb float bowl. Remove the screw then replace it after the fuel drains. Turn the gas back on and wait a minute for the carb to fill with gas. Install a new stock spark plug and try to start the engine. If the bike doesn't start and run properly then shut off the gas and remove the carburetor from the engine.

Remove the float bowl and clean the entire carb with a spray carb cleaner from the auto parts store. Wear protective goggles to avoid getting spray in your eyes. Spray into all the little airways and fittings in the carb. Remove the two screws on the outside throat of the carb and spray into the screw holes as well.

Be sure to put these two screws back in the same hole they came out of. IMPORTANT > do not tighten these two screws down. Only screw these in until they LIGHTLY seat. Now turn each screw one and one half turns outward. Put the rest of the carb back together, clean the air filter and install the carb. Let the float bowl fill then start the engine. Set the idle speed with the idle screw. This process should get you back on the road.

Please rate this solution. Thanks!
