    Pulled engine to double check crank and cam shaft timing. It was right on. Have replaced spark plug, Coil wire, Coil, Condenser, and points. Cleaned fuel tank and added new filter, rebuilt carb. Points push rod is OK. Still runs terrible off idle. At idle it runs OK. Checked valve lash again...

    149 Running terrible after overhaul

    Carburetor was fine before rebuilding engine but I pulled it apart and cleaned and installed new kit. Has anyone put one together with it out one tooth and will it run?
