Reply To: Starting Problem 1952 11BL

Bernie, (and others) many thanks.  Have suction, and in last attempt with new fuel in carb float bowl and SYB, there was some back firing thru carb with some flame, so back to ignition: Have already changed coil, points, cap, condenser, rotor but have readjusted again, plugs cleaned and re-measured and have seen a healthy spark, and advance/retard mechanism working fine, and will try with new fuel in bowl again and a temporary fuel tank between pump (which pumping well into bowl) and carb.  Frustrating thing is that it started and ran fine when last shut down (albeit 3 years ago when covid enforced a stay abroad), so not a lot could have changed except fuel/stale etc. and the more I change settings, the more I get further away from that stable status..

Dear starter and solid state battery (recharged every attempt) are holding up well with good turnover as 6 volt.

Regards
