Been working on the bike all day and am perplexed. I was kicking at this thing all day wondering what was the deal. No go... I gapped the points set the timing, synced the carbs. adjusted air screw to 1.25 turns out. Could not get it to start. The spark does not look great kind of weak but it is there and it is blue. stopped for half hr and ate dinner came back and kicked it over started up. I quickly adjusted the air screw and set the idle. Had it running real nice for about 2 minutes. Then it sputtered and died. Would not kick over again..... I have had this thing do this a few times. I don't understand if the carbs are to a point the bike can idle well one day or even one minute and not start the next. This leads me to believe that 1. I am somehow flooding the engine. 2. the spark condenser is going bad and the spark is only good sometimes. Any thoughts?
