    Hello , from NC

    Hello David I'm in the Hickory area! Just got my 301 back together and running with the help and knowledge from this group!

    I was concerned I might have set the cam wrong but I don't think it would crank and run so for now I'm ruling that out. I'm trying to understand the site hole for this engine! On the carburetor side there is a small hole in the shroud maybe 3/8 of an inch in diameter. On the start/gen side...

    I'm needing help with a wiring diagram for the headlites on my 128? They were present when I bought it but have never been complete! There is a rotating switch beside the ignition but I haven't traced what wires are attached to it. I'm still not adept at navigating this site so all help is...

    Thank you for your knowledge and advice! Sorry for the slow response but I must be getting pretty close to having the carb adjusted!! Running much better and throttle response has improved greatly!

    Thank you for the advice> I reset the lash on the valves and reset the float in the carb! Made a world of difference improving throttle response. It seems to be searching some up and down! Someone had posted tutorial on gapping the points to change the timing but I can't seem to locate it now?

    Thats why I'm puzzled! I lapped the valves until I had a good pattern on the seat and valve. Everything looked great sitting on the bench.

    I tried a new plug wire , didn't seem to help any? As far as the valves , everything miked within specs. There's a lot of black smoke when I.m playing with the carb and the richer I make the more I can feel gas blow out the carb!

    I'm perturbed with my rebuild! Will crank and idle fine but when I go to throttle up it stumbles and backfires. Tried the original carb and a aftermarket carb. Would the governor be causing this?

    I'm having a problem with my Walbro carb! I've run it thru the ultrasonic cleaner a couple times and did blow it out after > Now I'm having gas leak into the breather when it sits ! Is there a rubber seat the needle closes against? TIA
