    I have a ‘26 Elto Super G. I have unstuck the motor and it now has great compression. I have rebuilt the coil according to the AOMCI YouTube video and it has good spark. The timer seems to be working well. The carb is free and seems to be working properly. However, it seems to flood easily. I charge the cylinders and it usually hits and pops, but I can’t get more than one rotation. I have adjusted the carb from .5 to 1.25 turns, but I still get more than 1 hit with the occasional flame thrower out of the exhaust cut out. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated!

    Almost sounds like the spark is retarded too far.
    Someone more familiar should be able to tell you
    the best timer position for starting.

    Prepare to be boarded!

    Close the mixture screw all the way. Keep flipping the
    motor over till it starts and cleans itself out. Open the
    mixture screw 1-1/4 turns and try again. Don’t charge
    the cylinders.Should start on the 3rd or 4th flip if not
    sooner.
    If you’re not getting anywhere, close the mixture screw
    all the and keep flipping the motor over to be sure it
    isn’t flooded. If it doesn’t clean itself out within a dozen
    flips it wasn’t flooded. Open the mixture screw another
    1/4 more and try again. Your battery should be 6.2
    volts or higher so there is no question about the voltage
    being too low.
    Timer should be pointing to about 6:30 – 7:00 o’clock.

    Following your advise, with no charging it get pops for multiple spins. It then acts flooded again. I shut off mixing screw. A few more dead flooded spins and it starts popping again. The flywheel makes about 3/4 spin and jumps and pops. I’ve tried at 1.25, 1.5, and back to one mixing screw rotation. It is so close, but still far away. Any more advise?

    Battery is new and test at 6.3v. Once my arm felt like it was going to fall off I pulled the plugs. Plugs had smut on them, so I know they were hitting.

    Click on my video below on the timer. It will explain
    how it works and how to set the point gap.

    I’m convinced I have a excess compression issue. Between the starting position and compression A it is fairly free moving, but when it tries to start it swings just slightly past compression B it gets stuck. You can use both hands and turn it through compression B, but it has a lot of compression. I’m considering taking a ring off or trying to start it with 1 plug removed. Thoughts?

    Its not likely you have too much compression unless the motor has been
    modified or incorrect parts have been installed. The way to check the
    compression is with a compression gauge. Expect it to be between 65
    & 75 Lbs. You should remove both spark-plugs and turn the motor
    over. It should be more than “fairly free moving” with out any binding.
    If it is free and smooth check the spark plugs for any sign they are
    hitting the pistons. Not likely but check for it anyway.
    If you find it is binding when rotating the flywheel that could be
    anywhere, including the gear case.

    I would say the points gap is off (.010″), or you are flipping it the wrong direction, or your battery is weak.
