Thanks for the help, I will give the carb the adjustment you suggest. I already thought about the wires being the culprit, they look very old but I did turn off all the lights in the shop and it was pitch black dark and I couldn't see any spark from the wires, not sure if that is the best test but thought I would try it. I have heard of spraying a mist of water on the wires to help them spark, ever heard of that?
The reason for wanting to set the timing is I have read about so many people doing it and how much it helped.
I went to set the timing on my 149 and it was dead on. Anyway, I borrowed a timing light and am just trying to use it while I can.
I'll let you know what happens but it will be a couple of days before I can get back to it.
