Hi again, Thanks Nick for the ideas. I verified the carb slides are installed in their correct carbs. I got the engine running nicely on both cylinders and was able to adjust the air (about 1.25 turns out) and idle screws. The timing is nice and steady, and when verified dynamically it is advancing ...

The advance was just way too sloppy. The low-end stops were worn to the point that it had too much range, so I had to advance the points plate all the way to one end of its travel to get the static timing right. With the rebuilt unit the points plate is roughly centered in its adjustment range with ...

Well, it's been a while since I checked in here. We built a shop in the backyard this summer, and the SuperHawk project has taken up residence. I made a gauge to rebuild and calibrate the timing advance mechanism, which meant the engine had to come out of the frame. So why not completely disassemble...

Hi everyone, Jumping ahead a bit here, but I've got the thing pretty much fully assembled, wired, oiled and fueled. Maybe later I'll tell you about my wheel drama, trying unsuccessfully to make exhaust headers, and various other steps along a crooked path. I'm having a strange problem with ignition ...

Ah, makes sense. I'll add this to the punch list of things to address before starting the engine.

Hi all, I'm a little late to this party but I wanted to show you what I ended up with as a very effective set of tools for pushing these pins out. From way back I had a seal puller and an old school automotive drum brake adjusting tool. Combining these as shown allowed a very controlled application ...
