The rotor does turn.---" What do you mean " it could be shorting the spark to the shaft "

When I crank the engine with the choke pulled , gas does run out of the carb. Does that indicate a problem, or just that I have good gas flow to the carb.?
ANOTHER QUESTION-- WHEN THE ENGINE IS CRANKING, THE AMPMETER NEEDLE DOES NOT MOVE. FRANKLY I NEVER NOTICED WHETHER IT NORMALLY MOVED OR NOT, SHOULD IT? WHEN I PUT THE LIGHTS ON ,THEN THE AMPMETER SHOWS A DISCHARGE.
