But when the left cylinder was nearing top dead center it shure was harder to rotate (still smooth though). The right cilinder does not have this behavior.
If you got both spark plugs out, and your spinning it correctly CCW. Never Clockwise.
Your probably just feeling the magnets on the rotor messing w ya.
also, did you fit the little locking pin on the back of the advancer to trap it on the cam?
And, if you disassembled the advancer, make sure you get the cam lobe in the correct orientation to OPEN points just before TDC on compression stroke.
If you installed the lobe 180 out it wont take you long to figure out somethings amiss.
Be sure to lube up the tach seal NOW. Otherwise, the dry startup friction will burn the sealing edge off. You will have it leaking oil down the front of the engine until its replaced, again.
So here is a little update:
- the engine is completely assembled

Although she is still only running on one cylinder. First only right, and after a couple of minutes only left. This would be a logical timing issue. But it appears that everything is correct and well lubricated there.

Has anybody ever seen this style of petcock? I have not found one on the internet with this little reservoir.
That's actually pretty slick, its a sediment bowl, must have been in an area that had crappy fuel. Those style of fuel filters have been around forever and rely on gravity and time to filter out stuff.
maybe i could search for a litle in line fuel filter, and try to adapt it to fit in this bowl, because i can't imagine it working that great with gravity alone .
That's a neat filter bowl, never seen the add on piece before.
The stock tap has a small filter bowl, there is also a mesh screen 'inside' the tap held in with 'O' ring
