no improvement

ok, so started it up (which always takes a lot of cranks) after fiddling with the carb from last time... didn't change anything, so decided to change the points and condensor (geez what a pain to change the condensor!!), then it was a pain to set the points too (i know tom, be quiet)...

 
 you can see the condensor looks older than dad...  and the points are all pitted, not sure what that means....




well, no change to speak of... backfired a few times in the video, which it normally doesn't do... it really seems like a fuel issue...  it seems to stay at higher RPM's even after i let off the gas...  and of course after i cut the choke it dies... now i am wondering if the timing/advance is off... when i set the timing it seemed way too advanced, maybe i messed it up and at higher RPM's it's where it should be, but at idle it's a mess....
