yea i though i would try it 0 and now it seems to want to start but doesnt...also doesnt seem to be back firing out of the carb now
now is the time to look for fuel. even pour a little gas (1/2 a shot glass would be plenty)
snug that bolt down that holds the dist in place, untill you get it to fire off. you can even move it a little to see if the starting gets better
