darkminion_17,

I did the point tuning to try to solve a Glowing Muffler issue. I have another thread open on that issue. Engine now starts on the first try without any choke. Engine runs very smooth at low speed but as the throttle increases the engine runs kind of rough at higher throttle. I also notice a chirping/knocking sound when it starts (like 2 seconds of quick "Chirp Chirp Chirp"). Only hear this chirping when it starts. I adjusted the main jet on the carb 3/4 counter clock wise to make it run richer. Engine now runs smoother at higher throttle but still has an occasional miss? like "pa pa pa -- pa pa pa pa --" only at higher throttle very smooth at lower throttle. The good news is the muffler is no longer Glowing Orange! I definitely see the benefit to tuning the timing even just from a starting standpoint.
