i'll try the static timing procedure, but can i just describe the symptoms one more time...
the engine is a devil to start (crank only at the mo - since the starter motor is inoperable!) - have tried various positions of throttle (though i've only tried the choke once or twice since this seems to flood the carb something chronic!). she fires, say 4 times for approx. 40 - 50 cranks - stalling each time, until she'll just about tick over. open and close the throttle and she'll rev slowly, but open the choke and she stalls instantly. no clouds of smoke or excess petrol from the carb or exhaust at this stage(as i've had before) - but 'hunting'as though there's too much fuel coming through and generally running unevely - though not with enough regularity for me to say that one or more of the cylinders aren't firing.
i've cleaned out the fuel, the carb, the air filter and replaced the spark plugs. apparently, the previous owner had just replaced the points - hence i thought, the only thing left to check is the timing.
