Gift from my boss .. Lightwin

Any help on taking the ignition plate off .. Does it just pull straight up ?

[Samuel Phelps]

Never mind .. I finally figured it out .. 🧐

[Samuel Phelps]

Should I be concerned with this crack in the lower unit ?

[fleetwin]

Looks like it is just a casting flaw, wouldn’t worry about it…

[Samuel Phelps]

Thanks Fleetwin ..
New plug wires
New points and one new condenser. One of the new ones just didn’t test right so I used an old one that did .
Some cleaning up and now we have what looks like good spark on both cylinders.. which is an accomplishment for me ..LOL!
Does anyone know off hand what the torque should be on the flywheel ?
I guess now carb cleaning ..
Don’t go no where fella’s I’m sure I’m gunna need some help when I start ..

Update ..
Sprayed some gas/oil mix in the carb .. first pull she fired right up ..Even running for 3 seconds it sounded great !

I noticed this motor did not have a cam wick installed or a clip for it .. I did lube the cam and arm on the points though . Will this be ok ?

I would get a clip and wicker installed. They help prevent premature wear of the points shoes rubbing against the cam. Use a small amount of light oil on the wick periodically. If your flywheel has an inspection hole/port then this makes it a lot easier.

Example of a light oil is 3 in 1 oil.

After further inspection I actually found the clip .. It was where it was supposed to be without a wick so I didn’t know what it was for at the time .. I couldn’t find my 3&1 oil so I used some sewing machine oil …
