Re: Foundering flathead
Starts right up. Takes throttle pretty well. Timing with the light is pretty close, maybe a bit retarded. No marks on the flywheel other than TDC. Half a bottle of MMO down the carb didn't change...

Re: Foundering flathead
It appeared new from looking at the valves through the spark plug holes. It sat before I got it for an undetermined length of time, and for 5 years after I got it. No strange noises from the block,...

Re: Foundering flathead
Good read. Tomorrow I'll check the valves in number 1 against the dot on the pulley. That's a start without taking it apart. If it looks off, I'll pull the front cover.

Re: Help
