see, ... we dont have all the information. took it as it was running,... then u changed plugs and did the carb then would not start ,that means self inflicked problem. why u adjusting float? set it level and its good. and the float being off a bit has nothing to do with a no start and backfire. a backfire means your out of time! check your compression then post it. make sure the firing order is correct. get number one on compression at TDC and then see which plug fires. what happened when you switched the wires? was it still backfiring??? if not that is a good sign. people vever post actual pec setting... ooh its in time well how do we know. post your point setting and your timing and how you did it. then maybe the aahh haa moment might kick in . people think we are magician's. we have no eyes or ears on the subject just what u guys tell us. so now u see why i am bitching so to say. i want actual facts. every thing is step by step. do one thing and keep track of what you have done. record the facts.so when u post here u can post everything in order for a person to make a decision. your unsticking a valve but not giving a compression reading to verify it has compression. and as you said was using it and sputtered and died,... so either lack of fuel or no spark. are the plugs firing? old plugs no not cause a no start either. plus what is your carb settings at?? we dont know you nor know what your mechanical skills are.

But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
