       Newbie needing help

       Hi everyone. Just thought I'd introduce myself. I'm from all the
       way down in New Zealand and hope to get a bit of help from you
       guys.  I've just scored myself an 066.......well at least a box
       full of parts and a half dismantled 066. I'm hoping that someone
       can send me a service manual for it so I can get things right
       and check if what has been put together on it has been done
       correctly. I've already found a few things on the wrong way
       round or upside down so It's a bit of a nightmare. I've put a
       new cylinder and piston kit on it and a new rebuild kit in the
       carb (walbro WJ 67). I think I've finally got the metering level
       set right?? Does anyone have a specific measurement for this
       carb? There wasn't a 67 model listed on the walbro pages so I
       used a similar setting- .7mm below the machined surface either
       side of the lever arm? Anyway I've got everything fitted and it
       doesn't want to start. I've had a few coughs, splutters and
       backfires and that's it. It's almost as if the timing is out. I
       pulled the flywheel to check if there were 2 keyways but there
       was only one. Maybe the ignition is not compatible or
       something??? Here's the numbers: Fly wheel- 1122 400 1217
       C>PA66-GF 30< and ignition- 11221314
       Another thing I noticed was the decompression button seemed to
       be worn so I replaced it with a plug. Compression seemed to
       improve a lot but still no start up. Should the L & H screws be
       set at one turn or 1 1/4 turn for initial start up and the other
       screw (I think it's for idle) the same??
       I know a lot of this has been covered in other posts but I'm
       still none the wiser.
       Any advice would be appreciated
       Cheers,
       Neal

       Check your PM's. I usually set the lever arm flush with the carb
       if i remember correctly. L&H settings sound close enough to get
       it started. I'll try and find out if your Coil and flywheel are
       matching.

       On that timing it should be around 27 degrees advance .
       An easy way to check is by marking the flywheel at top dead
       center then rotating it until the flywheel magnets are dead
       center of the coil lamenations .It's not accurate but it will
       show if it's going the right way .

       Your flywheel and coil match. Thats a good sign. Are you sure
       your getting good bright blue hot spark?? Not just a weak orange
       spark? it wont run on a weak spark....

       Spark seems strong & blue. Will check advance. I did have
       trouble with flooding while adjusting the metering lever.
       Crankcase was saturated so have left to drain. Would that also
       contribute to not starting??

       IMO flooding does. When I have flooded something or something
       flooded comes in. I pull plug pull over and let set a min 12hrs
       till next day. Put plug in and usually the fire right up.

       I'll try leaving it for a couple of days to dry up then try it.
       I'll let you know what happens.
