Re: Gets hot and runs badly if at all

Well yesterday I put the tune up kit in.....Plugs, Points, Condenser,Wires,Cap, no not the rotor, ( had to use the old one as the cap was a chinese confab as was the rotor and they wouldn't fit with each other??????.....Anyhow I cleaned the rotor up and installed the old one....It still has a fault, a skip seems about every other cycle of the 4 strokes or so....If I use the new coil its more predominant than using the old coil....So I am going thru my archives checking out all my coils to see if I can find one that rectifies the problem....The coils I have been using are 6 volt coils with a voltage reducer in front of the positive lead on the coil....I've got to find my ohm-meter ( I think it may be in my truck box ) but I've also found a 12v coil that says use without external resistance....I am coil fused so I made another post which was answered and tomorrow I hope to try it in the scheme of things and see how it runs....I've adjusted the carb from one extreme to another and found the kinda sweet spot, but it still falters....Anyhow I'll see if I can isolate the skip with the ignition wires and go from there....As a redundant statement "it does run better,overall" but I'd like it to be near perfect it before I button it up....I did manage to build some barn doors for my shed and keep up on the garden in the 90 degree heat . ( the wife canned 21 quarts of beans) and the lawn still looks ok, which explains the time lapse in the tune up.....Jeeeez Any comments are appreciated as usual....Dave
