Any advice appreciated,Ran in for the first time today and ran it slowly.
Few probs i had was restarting the engine it has a very tight spot at tdc and the starter struggled to turn it over at times ,is this normal, it ran a tank of fuel then i had problems going again.when i did i ran it dry and put some oil in and packed up.not sure if i flooded it or good compression causing it to struggle to start or what.The needle was about 3.5 turns out and the low speed needle i havnt touched.the other prob was the starter i have runs anti clockwise so i reversed the connections so it ran clockwise is this the norm.When the plugs out and the carb open it rolls over perfectly no tight spot. starter rolled it over no probs?
any imput greatly appreciated.
