Yosemite Sam I picked up an engine a few years ago for a song because the guy could never get it to run right. He had it rebuilt and still wouldn't run very well. I found the points had about a .005 gap so I thouhgt theres the problem. Gapped them to .020 and no spark. WTF So upon further investigation I realized the points were not shutting being set at .020. Lacked a few thou of closing. Tried a new plunger and same thing. Then I tore into it and realized the cam had serious wear on the lobe. That is were I came up with that idea. I made the new plunger out of tool steel and polished it real nice. Talk about a sweet running engine afterwards.
