    39 A spark problem

    If the shaft that opens/closes the points has too much side play, the dwell angle (aka gap setting) will not be stable and cause your problem. Also, I use no more than 7/8 choke and 1/4 throttle setting when trying to hand crank. But that's my experience.

    How can I get More hp
