WH nut 553 #2 Posted June 11, 2014 Did it pop before, sound like a valve adjustment to me. You can reset your points to make sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

j main 5 #5 Posted June 14, 2014 Hi Guys Finally got the old girl running good. The points were a little off and the carb needed a little adjustment Found out why it was popping a little the condenser was getting bad if you moved it around .The motor would start popping I bought a new one.Now you can go up to it with out chokeing it turn the key and it starts right up. No popping runs really strong Take care Jeff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

j main 5 #7 Posted June 17, 2014 Hey Rick Nice talking to you.You might want to check your points and condensor first.Thats what may problem was I also put new vavles in mine they didnt need them but as long as it was tore down I replaced them Take Care Jeff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
