OK so after a busy week at work I got back to work on the old girl,
As a recap, it was running lovely 3 months ago, then left in a garrage not started. Had real trouble starting, and when it did it was coughing, spluttering, backfiring, and not reving up, so to try and solve the problem I replaced the coil, plugs, ht leads, condenser, cleaned carb 3 times, float and needle valve fine, replaced fuel, cleaned fuel glass bowel and line, checked valves all ok, replaced rocker cover gasket and exhaust manifold gasket, roter arm pointing to plug 1 on tdc and leads set to 1342 and none helped,
So running out of options today I have
Cleaned the distributor out changed the condenser again
Changed the points and set to 0.22 It starts and runs, runing a little poor but much better however..... Now its only reving half way up with throttle lever so much black smoke coming out of the exhaust, choke is not on.
The idle is all the way out, 1 turn on the small screw. 1 turn on the main jet screw.
So the engine reves really high, the only way to slow it down is to give the main jet screw 2 or 3 more turns
Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
Thanks
