Valves: Check and set clearances per manual
Points: Clean and set clearances
Timing: Verify timing is correct
After the above 3 were performed, I verified spark.
Air Filter: Cleaned and re-oiled air filter to ensure proper air flow was entering carb.
Carbs: #1 rebuild kits are garbage, don't use the supplied jets or needle, they may physically fit, but they are not correct for a stock configuration. #2 cleaned carb and jets by soaking/ultrasonic, blew compressed air through every passage to verify they were clear. #3 checked and adjusted float height
After all of this was performed, and I hooked up the gas tank to the carb, I opened drain screw to verify gas was entering the carb (this is what led me to perform #3 above).
So what you are saying is perform required maintenance?
Who would have ever thought that lack of maintenance would be a problem.
