I got back to the Whizzer project, at long last. I found that I had a bad power feed wire to the coil. I replaced that and motor
started up on the first try. I had the new centrifugal clutch, that I had got from Paul, last summer, on and hoped for better results.
Pretty much the same as before. It ran well on the stand and went down my little hill but then just bogged down when I tried uphill riding.
We're talking a very gentle slope. On a whim, I removed the B&S muffler and it seemed a little better. I took the carb slide off and used the
fifth notch on the needle jet(closest to the tip).It had been on the fourth notch. Again, seemed just a tad better. I still couldn't ride it. Is there a pic somewhere of the side case off and the timing marks aligned in the "one tooth advanced" position? If I just happened to put it one tooth retarded instead, would it explain all of this un-ride-able condition? Would it start so easy but have no power at all?
