Won't fire
hello,fellow benly owners.its been a while but got my 63 restored with a new paint job,it looks great.have not figured out how to put pics from my iPad to this forum but my daughter will help me this weekend.my issue with the bike is this.i put a different head on and put the cam out of my old head ,all fit fine.with the bike back together,it won't even fire,it does backfire the odd time.there is spark,good compression,and is getting gas.as I see it on the plugs when I take them out.when I installed the head I had the cam at the top and the crank at the bottom and in a straight line.my battery is new.i have not tried moving the points to advance or retard timing,that may be my next task to see if it fires.i have not tried squirting fuel in carb as I don't want to get fuel on freshly painted engine.any help would be appreciated.there is a show and shine in my town on Sunday and was hoping to show up on my benly.thanks Rob
