Well I am using a "funnel fuel tank" just to get it started. I want to get the tank cleaned before I run gas through it. But it pulls the fuel down and I have gotten a few "blue flames" and a few backfires, but thats it.
It does seem to have good compression. I dont have a tester, but just putting my hand over the spark plug whole, and the exhaust port and it seemed to have good compression.
The points look "good" almost to good, so I think your right, someone must have replaced them and may not have got the timming correct. I ordered a new primary coil, lighting coil, condesor and points to rebuild the generator.
I have cranked on it quite a bit, and it really hasn't even sputtered, only a few backfires and a blue flam or two.
