[eastonct124]

Well, the 124 has been giving me one headache after another. It just wouldn't idle....I had to bump up the idle to the point where it was out of the idle circuit range. I tanked the carb, rebuilt it, and put a bushing on the top of the main butterfly shaft. It ran better. But, while cleaning the carb, and block with brake cleaner, I hit the head gasket, and the rpm's shot up, so I knew that was it. Tore it down, filed, then sanded the deck with a huge wet stone, then sanded the head on a steel plate. I pulled the valves to do so, and didn't have time to cut the seats or valves, so I just lapped them. Put it all together, and it's got some serious compression. I did the points and condenser, used matt's technique. Painted, and installed....it just wouldn't idle again. So, I pulled the carb off the 122, and Voala'....it runs like a charm, and with no adjustment the idle was a quiet put,put,put. Tomorrow, I order a half dozen of the proper Servalite bushings. I always say "99% of issues are ignition"......I found that 1%.
